Anghaam showed further progress when winning at Goodwood last month and is upped 4lb while Hoodwinker and the returning State Occasion won lower grade contests last time with the former preferred. Last Sunset also returns from an absence and is dropped in class along with Lottie Marie but ENSEMBLE (NAP) is the least exposed. Roger Varian’s filly got off the mark with a course and distance success and an apprentice takes 3lb off her back now handicapping for the first time. Raise The Roof makes more appeal than Mrs Fitzherbert as both drop down in distance.
