Hallelujah beat Ladies Are Forever a nose in this race last year and they lock horns on the same terms once again. The latter easily beat Artistic Jewel over track and trip in July. Naadirr ran well behind older sprinters at Newmarket last month but this is tougher while Line Of Reason finished ahead of Mass Rally here before going close over 5f in the Beverley Bullet last time. Intibaah won at Haydock on his reappearance back in May but needs soft ground and preference goes to JUSTINEO. He bounced back with an easy win in a Doncaster conditions race last month and should go close again on his favoured fast ground.
