Tim Easterby has won the last two renewals with Lilac Lace but today's representative Breakable has done all her winning so far on fast ground. Tempting never figured in Listed company last time but should do better here and Maybe Tomorrow is also unexposed having opened her account in a Ffos Las maiden race in August. But it could pay to stick with the progressive TRIXIE MALONE despite a further 4lb rise as she won a Class 2 handicap in soft ground at Salisbury by six lengths and may not have finished improving yet on that evidence. Maggie Pink and Pretty Bubbles are usually thereabouts in this grade though both look high enough in the weights now and the three-year-old Persun may prove a bigger threat.
