Exentricity steps up a grade but won with plenty in hand over track and trip last time. Effusive still looks high enough in the weights but Quite A Story went close at Bath off today's mark back in August and could figure. ANGEL WAY also returns from an absence having run well in better company at Newmarket in May. She has changed stables since and gets a speculative vote in this grade. Lady Lydia's earlier win at Kempton came over 7f and maiden winner Ki Ki has more scope on her first start since September.
