Attain won at Sandown in July but hasn’t raced since while Glorious Asset has his first start since placing in a maiden race here a year ago. Essenaitch has regressed all year but is dropped in class while Masqueraded and Jumbo Prado have both won in plating company this year. But ITALIAN BEAUTY finished behind a couple of much higher rated horses in a claimer over track and trip last time and the winner, Mythical Madness, has subsequently gone close in a handicap. John Wainwright’s filly gets the vote on that form.
