Donna's Pride and Bobble Boru were second and third respectively behind Quantum Of Solace here last month and there should be little between the pair again on today's terms. There is a chance that all-weather winner Star Ascending and Goodwood Moonlight will improve now going handicapping, though neither has shown much so far over timber. NOLECCE won over 1m6f on the Flat in July and is back on a winning mark over hurdles. Tony Forbes' charge may be the one to beat.
