Diamond Pursuit is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton a week ago and FIRE ORCHID wasn’t far behind in second. The latter is less exposed and re-opposes on much better terms - Rossa Ryan’s allowance and is taken to help turn the tables in this. Isoletta, Dashing Dust and Lady Jayne are others with scope and all are preferred to Felisa, who won a seller earlier in the year, while That's My Girl scored over 6f back in July but has been treading water since.
