Plenty with claims though Vigee Le Brun is 9lb higher than when scoring at Ripon two runs ago. Qasr steps up a grade and drops down in trip having won by a neck over 1m2f at Ayr recently so LA SIOUX makes more appeal. The latter returned a cosy winner at Nottingham last time and should make another bold bid despite a 5lb rise. Lotara wasn’t beaten far when fourth over track and trip and is not out of this while Black Salt is another to consider on last month’s second at Ayr.
