Windlass will be fancied to finish closer back over a mile but she was still well beaten when third over track and trip last month. BARBARY provided trainer Charlie Fellowes with his first winner when scoring over 7f here last week. He gave the impression this longer trip would suit and can follow-up, confirming running with Sandy Cove in the process. Black Vale has plenty to find with the selection on collateral form but Royal Bushida may prove a threat back on the Polytrack.
