Verdict
INVINCIBLE ISLE, Mabait and Hightime Heroine may be the three to concentrate on with preference for Henry Cecil's runner. She posted a string of consistent efforts after getting the better of Hightime Heroine to win her maiden until running a poor race at Ripon on her penultimate start but she bounced back to form at Pontefract and is fancied to go on again. Mabait also comes into the race on the back of a good performance and the handicapper hasn't overreacted to her win at Folkestone but others make most appeal. Hightime Heroine has held her form well all season and meets the selection on 4lb better terms than when beaten half a length in June and she may have been feeling the ground last time as she flashed her tail under pressure. Kloof is still a maiden but could take a hand in proceedings whilst La Marseillaise begins her handicap career on a fair mark and could make her presence felt but Invincible Isle can prevail.
