Three of these arrive on the back of recent wins including Bamako Du Chatelet, who scored over 1m6f on the Turf course here. Voluminous came good over 1m4f at the same meeting last month and there should be more to come from her while Perla Blanca won over today’s distance at Doncaster. Twister beat Airmax over track and trip before struggling off today’s higher mark at Kempton while HIGH WELLS went close over hurdles in August. Dropping back down in class after a fourth at Bath last time, this extra distance should not be a problem and Seamus Durack’s charge gets another chance.
