Fakhoor is running on Turf for the first time but has yet to finish out of the frame and his latest third at Chelmsford came in a higher grade. Angels only failed by a short-head to make a winning debut at Catterick but drops back a furlong for this. Bowler Hat didn’t take to the all-weather but was just beaten over this trip at Nottingham on his introduction in August. Montana Dawn is improving with experience but HULA GIRL is back over the distance at which she finished fourth in a Listed race at Newmarket in November. She wasn’t unduly punished on her reappearance at the same track and will strip fitter here.
