Dreese has his first run on Turf and against older horses. The hat-trick may be beyond him off a 6lb higher mark. Fellow three-year-old Little Shambles was tailed off at Newmarket last month but there will be interest in Foxy Forever after a promising return at HQ and Michael Wigham's lightly-raced gelding makes more appeal than Fast Finian and Mission Approved, who are both likely to need the run. Role Player was still a bit keen at Kempton last time but held on well and the drop back to 6f shouldn't be a problem but Green Monkey has proved best over 5f so far. TRUCANINI won off today's mark at Kempton in September and scored over 7f here earlier. She had no chance from a wide draw at Windsor on her reappearance but will strip fitter today and could easily bounce back to winning ways.
