Tim Easterby runs four led by Father Bertie who has won the last two renewals off higher marks, though arrived in better form on both previous occasions. He’s still preferred to Silvery Moon and recent winners Off Art and Ventura Secret, who both step up in class. Mon Beau Visage and Zodiakos won qualifying events for this in August and beat several of these in the process but KHAMAARY makes more appeal. The dual course winner struggled from a wide draw at Chester last time but won a classified race on the Turf at Lingfield earlier and Mark Johnston’s filly should be thereabouts at the finish in this company.
