Taoiseach and Tamerlane finished third and fourth at Chelmsford last month, well ahead of Asharedmoment, but both were still well beaten. Motajaasid has had wind surgery since a poor run at Brighton in August and the drop in trip might help. But BLUE WILLOW also drops down a furlong having pulled too hard at Ffos Las on her second start. She paid the price in the closing stages but was in the firing-line at this distance and is capable of better. Gloweth looks the pick of Stuart Kittow’s two fillies.
