It was fast going when Quemonda won at Windsor and also when Her Way landed a double during the summer. Tele Red, Franco Grasso and La Hulotte are all less exposed than the likes of Kentucky Kitten and Reverential with the latter debuting for a new yard while Jackamundo slides further down the weights. But a speculative vote goes to LOCHANTHEM despite a poor effort at Kempton last time as she found only one too good in soft ground at Sandown before that.
