Valmina went close at Goodwood on his latest start and should figure with a similar effort but has something to find with WOODEN KING on earlier running at Bath. The latter is preferred dropped in class for his return to the Polytrack. Lujeanie has slipped down the weights but has done all her winning over 6f so far. Bapak Bangsawan makes more appeal back over the minimum trip while Billy Red is back on a winning mark having won over track and trip early in the year, but he remains out of form.
