Support for the Barney Curley-trained debutant Cabuchon would be interesting, especially over a trip that should suit, but his pedigree suggests that he may need more time and preference is for the more experienced FASHIONABLE GAL. Sir Mark Prescott's filly improved on her second run when tried at Wolverhampton last time, when she veered off a true line late on and cost herself ground, exaggerating the winning margin. That was much the best form on offer here and we take her to get it right over a trip that will suit. Quahadi is interesting now switched to this sphere. He was going well when a faller at Plumpton last month and should not be underestimated in a weak affair. Princess Runner may be able to improve for her debut now upped in trip.
