The Hannon yard sent out last year’s winner and PEPITA looks to have strong claims despite returning from an absence. She divided a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Chelmsford back in June and a rating of 88 puts her well ahead of Almoner and Angel Of Darkness. William Haggas runs two with Lingfield third Dreaming Of Paris preferred to the newcomer Faience while Aryeh steps up in trip on her return to action. Namirah is a half-sister to winners in Italy and fellow newcomer Finale is related to decent handicapper Landwade Lad.
