IMPRESSIVE VICTORY was having her first star since August when returning a losing favourite at Nottingham and should be sharper for this. Lemoncetta has less excuse for her disappointing showing at Salisbury a fortnight ago and Celestial Fire failed to show much progress when fifth at the same meeting. Rosslare is another who took a step backwards last time while Al Nofor makes her belated seasonal debut and is one to note.
