KALAATAH is difficult to weigh up having landed a Kempton maiden despite running green. She looks to have plenty of scope and though the assessor has done her no favours she looks the type to go on to better things so should take this. Tears Of The Sun hasn't progressed as expected after scoring at Southwell and Brighton but Gleese The Devil is on the upgrade judged on his latest run on heavy going at Windsor. Tizlove Regardless completed a hat-trick earlier this year and though not performing to his potential on his reappearance at Kempton last month is capable of much better. Westerly hasn't had much racing but has looked one-paced on her two latest starts and 7f winner Heska has yet to prove he stays this far.
