Arctic Sea won at Bath when last in action in September while Tralee Hills has been racing on Turf since winning off a similar mark over track and trip.

My Vision looked beaten when stumbling at Yarmouth last time and headgear is fitted. CAEN NA COILLE drops down a grade after finishing runner-up at Kempton, despite having to be switched for a clear run, and Charlie Fellowes’ filly gets the vote.
