Global Exceed remains in fine form having won over 6f before going close again over the minimum trip at Chepstow. Adulate finished closer at Lingfield last time while Zain Smarts beat Following Breeze when scoring at Bath in August but has disappointed in a couple of subsequent starts. LA BELLE MAYSON struggled in testing going over 6f at Haydock last time but much better is expected back over 5f today on her handicap debut and Richard Fahey’s filly gets a speculative vote.
