Tapis Libre will be a teenager in a few weeks’ time but has placed twice at Catterick this summer. He’s not travelled down here for the day out and should return with some prize money if getting the run of the race. Simon Walker partners August’s Lingfield scorer Azor Ahai and Cheng Gong has been going well on the all-weather and is a winner on heavy going on Turf. Very well backed on heavy going here last week, LADY ISABEL didn’t let down supporters. She’s having just her seventh career start today and can defy a penalty with Alex Chadwick able to claim 5lb. Triple Nickle looks best of the rest.
