Hardly the ideal getting out stakes as several appear to have leading claims. Bright Abbey, successful on his belated reappearance over C&D in August, is very lightly raced while Achales is another to have been successful over track and trip and won't mind the ground. He was runner-up to Moderator at Epsom last time. They look the pick of the older horses but are giving weight to some progressive three-year-olds which include Paloma's Prince, who has twice run well here, and Ukrainian. Mark Johnston's Musselburgh winner just failed to defy a penalty at Kempton last week and Darren Egan takes off 5lb here but we just prefer LIVIA'S DREAM. Ed Walker's filly won over 1m4f at Kempton last month and a 4lb rise in the weights is by no means excessive - she's already won over 1m2f here. Palus San Marco may be the pick of the remainder.
