THELADYINQUESTION, the only C&D winner in the line-up, has been competing at a much higher level and ran as well as could have been expected on her reappearance in a Group 3 at Lingfield. This looks a bit easier and she's taken to get back to winning ways. Escape To Glory carries a penalty for last week's success at Folkestone and will find this tougher while Redvers is still looking a few pounds high in the weights. My Son Max is only 1lb higher than when scoring at York last June and bounced back with a victory at Kempton so he's one to keep on the right side along with the well handicapped Able Master, who was staying on well over 6f at Haydock last time. Mubtadi was very unlucky at Newbury last time but that was over a mile which may be his trip.
