Diocles Of Rome opened her account over track and trip recently and is 6lb higher while Fakhoor won a tougher race than this at Newmarket during the summer and has had wind surgery since disappointing at Chelmsford. Rum Runner hasn’t shown any further progress having also won at Headquarters in August and Rebel Assault has also failed to build on an earlier success at Musselburgh. But CAVATINA was beaten only a short-head over course and distance last time having won at Leicester back in May and the Haggas filly looks capable of going in again off her current mark.
