Salvatore Fury bids for a hat-trick but could have been better drawn but Musharrif won at Nottingham in July the last time he raced in this grade. Jaarih is another with claims on the back of a second at Sandown but DANCE ALONE is just preferred. The latter won a maiden race over track and trip last time and a 7lb claimer takes over the reins back in a handicap. Bond Bombshell has struggled in a couple of subsequent starts here since winning over course and distance but Socialites Red has slid down the weights and will take advantage soon judged on her latest third at the track.
