KARMADAL never threatened the winner when third on her racecourse debut in soft ground at Leicester. She could prove better suited to this surface and go close. City Of Night was spotted making up late ground over 6f here a week ago so this extra distance should suit and he can reverse earlier running with Pintle's Image. Dougan looks another likely improver and the newcomer Breathless is a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather and worth a second glance.
