Sioux Chieftain is going well and, though yet to win on the all-weather, only found one too good over 1m4f here last month. Sagesse has had a break since finishing last at Epsom in July but has been placed twice here and won on the Polytrack. Rowlestone Lass finally won a race here in October but couldn't handle the step up to a Class 5 contest at the track last time and has even more on her plate today. Dean Ivory's string appears in good order and DUCHESS OF GAZELEY (NAP) was taking on much better opposition than this earlier in the year. She will have needed her run at Newmarket in October and can outclass these.
