Six Wives has done most of her winning at Southwell and weakened quickly at Thirsk last time so this stiff track may not suit. Willbeme's three victories have come over further and all on fast ground so the recent rain won't help and Dodina's victory last month came in a seller. She was well beaten at Newcastle last time when INGENTI was in front of her and, as the latter generally performs well on this track, he's given the nod in a tricky contest. He had Foreign Rhythm well beaten when successful here in August and Charlemagne Diva is much more leniently rated on the all-weather. Mey Blossom has a fine chance on the balance of her form, especially on a track she likes, though the rain may have scuppered the opportunity. Barbs Princess has been in fine form on Polytrack and must rate a threat as she acts on any surface.
