Placed over hurdles earlier this year, LEITZU also made the frame on the Flat at Bath a fortnight ago when staying on for third. This looks less competitive and Mick Channon's filly should relish the longer trip. She makes more appeal than Bajan Parkes, who looks on a fair mark but may need another run after his return from a lengthy absence at Doncaster, while Escape Artist hasn't threatened since winning his maiden at Beverley last July. Simple Jim is sliding down the weights but has yet to show any improvement for it.
