Verdict
Sixties Idol won over a shorter trip here in February and later at Fontwell but she weakened quickly last month off this mark. Westerbee is also upped in trip and her win at Worcester in May came on soft going. WILLYEGOLASSIEGO (NAP) also still has stamina to prove but her run at Uttoxeter in September wasn’t her true form. She’d just come up short at Newton Abbot the time before and Noel Fehily keeps faith with Neil Mulholland’s five-year-old. Mac Bella is eased in grade and the weights and could also figure.
