LAUGH ALOUD is penalised for a Listed win at Newmarket in September as she returns to action. But she still has the edge over today’s opposition on these terms and should go close. Aljazzi avoids a penalty for a Listed success at Haydock back in August and Ryan Moore picks up the ride. She could go well along with Summer Icon, who has the more recent form. Crowning Glory is another making her seasonal bow and has a shout on her third to the smart Muffri’Ha last year but the likes of Desert Haze and Lucy The Painter have plenty to find with the selection. Materialistic made a winning return last season and today’s drop back in trip may suit.
