Verdict
A few of these are looking to improve for the longer trip and include Miss Blakeney, who finished just behind today's rival Jaja De Jau when fourth at Bath on her reappearance. Any strong support for Shea, Tajamal or Sauvage L'Il would suggest they've taken a step forward since last seen at the track but the best piece of proven form belongs to WAVING. He finished a close-up fourth at Dundalk in July when trained by John Oxx and could prove good enough here on his first start for new connections.
