More than a few of these look fully exposed, including Beleaguerment, Red Hut Red and Improvising, so the likes of John Clare and Delectable are worth a market check going handicapping after the almost-mandatory three runs. Swiper has gone backwards since a second at Chelmsford in the summer but Li Kui is running well enough and Thierry could be interesting off bottom weight. A token vote goes to ELYSIAN LADY, who hasn’t had much luck the last twice and shapes as though she’ll appreciate the extra furlong. Five Angels could also go well having slipped further down the weights.
