Atlanta Belle won over 6f here in August but found one too good last time while Staffa was well beaten recently having scored over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton before that. It remains to be seen if Prominna fares any better racing off a slightly higher mark after scoring at Lingfield with Mercers back in fifth but KYLLUKEY has been back on a winning mark for some time and, after a couple of recent placed efforts on the all-weather, it could be his turn today.
