Mistress Nellie has been placed over 1m4f on several occasions this year but GOLDEN DEAL has been thereabouts over 1m2f on the all-weather lately. She may prove good enough at this lowly level. Born To Reason and Brother In Arms have both placed in this grade in the past and Cat Royale finished runner-up in a Class 7 contest earlier. Bescaby may also finish closer today fitted with headgear and dropped in class.
