LADY EROS is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton back in May but beat a subsequent winner and the Gosdens’ filly may prove good enough on her return. Bling On The Music has been gelded and undergone a wind operation since last in action and returning stablemate King Alfred has also had wind surgery. Grant Wood has plenty to find at the weights while Telemachus and Spirit Of Cahala need to improve but the newcomer Tairann is related to a couple of winners and may get involved.
