It’s difficult to make a strong case for any of this bunch but VEGAS BOY was runner-up at Kempton last time and may prove good enough in a low-grade lottery. Dyson's Girl went close off a higher mark at Catterick during the summer while Hope And Glory has slipped down the weights and was placed at Windsor in August. Long Embrace and Lady Of Petra drop down in class and may prove best of those making their handicap debuts.
