Fresh Terms landed a double over today’s trip in August but is now 9lb higher and has been beaten since. Rippling Waters won over a mile at Kempton recently and is worth another try over today’s longer trip while Bell Heather has placed over the extended 7f here on a couple of occasions this year. BALAAWY was making steady progress until seemingly finding 1m4f beyond her last time. Now handicapping for the first time, Roger Varian’s filly gets another chance back over a more suitable distance.
