WISHFORMORE carries a penalty for his recent victory over track and trip. But Ian Williams' charge appeared to win a shade cosily and can take care of Tijuca again to follow up. Red Invader disappointed at Windsor when last seen but an earlier second at Wolverhampton suggests he may figure on his return and Indian Violet has been showing a bit more of late. The remainder are harder to fancy with Pour La Victoire failing to match his earlier placed efforts on Turf in recent starts on this surface.
