Top weight shouldn’t prevent another big run from Goodwood third Show Stealer, who won twice at Windsor previously. Apart from her run in the Stewards’ Cup consolation at Goodwood, Puds has proved very consistent this year. Lady Dancealot has place claims again and Goodnight Girl is not out of this. Betsey Trotter found only one too good at Ripon when chasing a four-timer and has made giant strides since landing a Catterick seller in July but we’ll give another chance to BELATED BREATH. She missed the break in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month so that run is easily forgiven with Hughie Morrison’s filly, a winner here last year, being 7lb better off with Show Stealer for an earlier neck defeat at Windsor.
