Lady Mandy needed all of the 2m trip to get her head in front here on Tuesday and Vexillum is now 8lb higher than when scoring at Yarmouth in August. White Deer usually finds one too good but Corvette is only 1lb higher than her latest win at the track and could figure. Merchants Return is another with a shout having gone close over a shorter trip here last month but the vote goes to top weight BROUHAHA. He was winning off a 10lb higher mark last season and, dropped in class today, can add to his four previous course wins.
