Ticklish made a winning start at Lingfield but found life tough in a conditions race in France earlier this month. She should be in the mix again, despite a penalty, but UNIVERSAL ORDER is just preferred. He’s also penalised after producing a strong late run to score at Newcastle at the first time of asking and there looks plenty more to come from David Simcock’s colt. Isle of Wolves has failed to threaten since winning over 7f during the summer and the remainder with experience have plenty of improving to do but the newcomer Kheros is related to winners on the all-weather and is worth a second glance.
