CIRCULATE is getting closer and was beaten only a head at Wolverhampton recently. She finished a couple of lengths in front of Implausible on that occasion and is fancied to confirm running in this. Allegheny Bay showed improvement on his latest start but that was over 6f and he never looked like catching the winner so one of the newcomers may prove a bigger threat with Miss M, a half-sister to a couple of winners on the all-weather, preferred to Fun Raiser.
