It looks well worth trying Venture Girl at this trip given the way she's stayed on over shorter whilst Always Dixie has obvious claims following a game success in a selling handicap. Ilkley is well worth noting in the market as she takes a big step up in trip and the betting may also guide to expectations for Miereveld, who makes his first start since leaving Sir Mark Prescott sporting blinkers for the first time. Fantastic Favour is another hoping that headgear works the oracle whilst a tongue tie may assist another form Prescott inmate in Cheyenne Chant show more for her new trainer. A tongue tie is also worn for the first time by BOLLIN ANDREW, who may not have acted on the fibresand when disappointing on his handicap bow but it could be worth giving this unexposed colt from a good family another chance over a trip that he's bred to relish.
