Ramesses had Astrologer back in third when scoring at Ayr and should go well again raised 3lb though Jaleel ran a shocker at Newmarket last time having won at the same track before that and headgear is fitted today. But TRIPLE DISTILLED returned to winning ways with a cosy success over course and distance earlier in the month and it could pay to stick with Nigel Tinkler’s charge in this. I Am A Dreamer wasn’t beaten far when only fourth at Beverley while Praxidice has undergone wind surgery since last in action but fast ground is a worry for both her and Sparklealot.
