Come On My Son is penalised for making a winning start at Wolverhampton back in July though an apprentice’s allowance relieves some of the burden. Blake's Vision is preferred upped in trip after placing over 6f at Wolverhampton on his debut but Dashing Roger was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Brighton last month. Gracie's Girl hasn’t raced since April but DANCING LEOPARD missed out by only a nose at Newcastle a fortnight ago and Karl Burke’s filly gets another chance with her yard in decent form.
