Sandacres finished closer when third at Kempton last month and that looks stronger form than Ready Steady's recent fourth over 5f here. Whistle faded in the closing stages of her racecourse debut at Kempton and may do better in this but BEAR FACED has the best form. He has not raced since finishing second to the very smart Tasleet in a maiden at Chepstow in June but he finished ahead of a subsequent winner on that occasion and Sir Mark Prescott's charge cane make a winning reappearance.
