Waiting For Richie got off the mark with a win on the all-weather in September and has been placed on Turf before. Ayr Of Elegance won a lower grade contest over 2m at Lingfield on her penultimate start while Medburn Cutler went close at Chepstow in August but finished behind fifth-placed GRACEFUL LADY (NAP) in the Cesarewitch here subsequently. Darragh Keenan was unable to claim on the latter at Newbury last week but can put his 7lb allowance to good use in this and Robert Eddery’s filly gets the vote back on a faster surface. Nelson's Touch has placed in bumpers so may figure making his handicap debut on the Flat.
