As usual, a highly competitive Victoria Cup in the offing. TARTIFLETTE features prominently in the betting which is no surprise as she beat a handful of these when scoring at Haydock a fortnight ago. Ground and trip suit and she looks a filly on the up. Cape Classic and Highland Colori finished closest to the selection at Haydock while Dream Tune was fifth behind Haaf A Sixpence at Newbury last month. Ralph Beckett's charge had earlier beaten Fast Finian on the all-weather and the latter went on to beat Khubala at Yarmouth recently. Glen Moss has plenty of scope after a second on his reappearance and could figure while Loving Spirit finished just ahead of Lightning Cloud here in October and Solar Deity at Kempton last month. David Marnane sent Dandy Boy over from Ireland to win this in 2010 so Jamesie is another worthy of consideration.
