Wilfred Pickles' previous attempts at today's distance have been less than convincing but Qanan went close at Yarmouth on his first start over 1m2f. Heezararity was beaten only a head at Windsor on his belated seasonal debut and looks sure to be in the mix once again but another chance goes to PLENUM. He hasn't raced since June when returning a losing favourite over track and trip but he finished ahead of a couple of subsequent winners and is just preferred to Drahem. The latter went close on her handicap bow over a mile and her yard remains in fine form.
