Aletoile was a convincing winner over C&D earlier in the month though the second rather let the form down on a subsequent outing. SENSE OF SECURITY was tried as a sprinter by Richard Hughes but George Baker clearly has other ideas and it may be worth chancing his opinion this afternoon. Habanero Star landed some tidy bets when prevailing over a mile in July though it remains to be seen whether the extra distance will necessarily be to the benefit of Gay Kelleway’s mare. Richard P Smith has hit the frame on his last three starts and won’t be far away.
