Envisaging has placed in a couple of subsequent starts since scoring at Newcastle while Sparkalot should be sharper for a recent comeback run having won over track and trip last summer. September Issue is upped 5lb for winning at Bath in August and Dutiful Son has been winning plating races. Dusky Maid went close over 7f last time and Daschas is upped in class after placing at Newcastle but another chance goes to BLAZED, who ran into trouble at Wolverhampton on his latest start and should be thereabouts with a clear run today.
