Even Bolder makes plenty of appeal having gone close over C&D on his latest start with Ivory Silk well behind. He can race off the same mark here and must go close. Freddie's Girl is not out of it and neither is Perfect Act on her return to action. However, veteran sprinter EFISTORM ended the turf season in fine fettle, scoring twice in August, and can race off a 7lb lower mark than his last win. Back on the Polytrack after disappointing at Southwell last time, Conrad Dore's charge can take this. Baby Dottie and Sioux Rising are others with a chance.
