Castle Hill Cassie has been confined to the all-weather in her last four starts, scoring twice on Tapeta at Newcastle. She's gone up 7lb for her latest victory there and this looks a slightly better race. Pepita has stepped up to this trip in her last two starts and stayed on really well though she hasn't been tested on a soft surface so connections will be hoping the rain stays away. Made Of Honour was sent to the Polytrack course at Chantilly in October and duly obliged. She's won her two starts this year on that same surface and Tapeta, though her two poor runs last summer were on soft ground. Caridade won easily at Redcar in August but was outclassed in Listed company there on her final start. Yeah Baby Yeah has won twice on the all-weather but never in 20 starts on Turf and is probably still a few pounds high so a chance is taken with BROCKHOLES. She's only run twice over this trip, scoring at Catterick on soft going in 2016, and is now on a 2lb lower mark.
