THE FIRM won with plenty to spare over a shorter trip here during the week and can strike again while the iron is hot. Lynngale is usually thereabouts but looks no closer to adding to her tally of one win in 25 starts and is closely matched with Alfaraaby on running at the track last month. Rockwood scored at Beverley in August but never figured off today's higher mark last time and Malimbi remains 6lb higher than when winning at Nottingham in July.
