Hestina had no chance in a Listed race on the Flat last time having looked progressive over hurdles before that. Our Kylie has an excellent strike-rate over hurdles and on the Flat and was a convincing winner over track and trip last time, though is 6lb higher now. OUR THREE SONS (NAP) won in this grade at Stratford in July. He may have found the going too quick at Fontwell next time and, though raised a further 3lb since, could be worth another chance given he gets on really well with Page Fuller. Frederic has won a couple of staying races on the Flat this year but is better over a bit further while chaser Ink Master is having his first run for a new yard.
