Stratford winner Lady Gwen would be up to this at her best though would not want any ease in the ground. The latter remark also applies to Sassified, whose three victories this summer all came on good going. STILETTO is 0-21 which hardly inspires confidence but he could not have gone much closer the last twice and this could be his day. Uncle Arthur pulled too hard at Chepstow and needs to settle better, a remark that also applies to Odin‘s Quest, who has been disappointing since scoring at Wincanton in April.
