Bahamadam reverts to handicap company having run in a couple of Listed races this year. ROMAN SPINNER has yet to win on Turf but has every chance on a recent fourth at Chelmsford so gets the vote as Augenblick is making her debut on Turf following a lay-off, though shouldn’t fail through lack of fitness and is unbeaten so far. Blizzard was second off this mark at Leicester but Sayem was a disappointing favourite at Newmarket and Cosmopolitan Queen won over track and trip in June and may have benefited from a short break but is looking a few pounds too high at present. Katie Lee won at Kempton last month but more would be needed here.
