This may lie between the penalised runners Dubawi King and CHEYENNE CHANT with token preference for the latter. Nigel Tinkler will be hoping that the headgear works as well as it did at Redcar although Dubawi King is closely matched with Vittachi on their running over a mile and a half at Hamilton in June. Nigel Tinkler's charge also seems to be particularly well suited by Redcar and may not appreciate this drop back in trip so he's opposed with Cheyenne Chant who opened her account for new connections on her second outing for her new yard and she looks capable of making further progress. Converre needs to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces and the consistent Vittachi may emerge as a bigger threat.
