The veteran Continuum has placed over 2m the last twice now still looking for his first win since 2014 but REASSURANCE makes more appeal. The latter has yet to win anywhere but went close over today’s trip at Redcar last month and Tim Easterby’s filly can finally open her account off her current mark. Bolt N Brown has placed over shorter distances this year and Alpasu finished a lot closer over 1m4f at Thirsk last time. Red Secret is fitted with headgear for his first outing over 1m6f and has more scope than most.
