Docofthebay can come out on top, with Chasing Memories, Four Miracles, Heaven's Gate and Sheriff's Silk all likely to be involved in the shake-up. Jamie Osborne has not enjoyed the same level of success with his juveniles as in past seasons, but Docofthbay shaped like a certain future winner on his debut at Goodwood in August, chasing home Duke Of Tuscany who went on to land a Class 3 event at Sandown next time. With that in mind, the Paul Dixon-owned youngster, himself related to plenty of winners, should prove popular in this class 7 affair. Chasing Memories was a shade unlucky here last time when carried right in the closing stages as she finished second to Greyt Big Stuff, with stablemate Sheriff's Silk held in third, and this extra furlong should help, while Four Miracles is another that will be suited by the step up in trip on this, her all-weather bow. Any support for Heaven's Gate should be noted, given her trainer's juvenile record, but Docofthebay could easily be a lot better than this grade, and gets the chance to prove it here.
