No No Juliet bolted up at Fontwell 10 days ago when tackling soft ground for the first time. She has a penalty to carry in this but Harrison Beswick claims 6lb. ALWAYS RESOLUTE took advantage of a lenient mark to score at Wetherby on his first start for Ian Williams. He’s gone up 9lb for that but his trainer has a habit of improving new charges and a follow-up is not out of the question. Darling Maltaix remains winless over timber but is rarely far away and could reward each-way support. No Hiding Place got back to winning ways at Kempton last month and Bradford Bridge will be happier back over hurdles. Newbury second Le Musee looks a bigger danger, however, and holds Vaziani on the form book. Call To Order was beaten three times off this mark in the summer but Kapgarry is interesting in his first handicap and makes more appeal than the hat-trick seeking Solstice Star.
