BLOODSWEATANDTEARS was beaten less than a length over track and trip earlier in the month and Bill Knight’s charge gets the vote on that form. Living Leader was third at Wolverhampton recently having won off a higher mark here earlier in the year while Chelwood Gate landed a seller at the track back in May. Baby Gal slips further down the weights as she steps up in distance while Amenta may do better now handicapping for the first time.
