W G Grace is the only winner in the line-up but his victory came on Polytrack. He ran poorly at Nottingham last time though it was a better race than this. Like many of these, Fortunate Vision has had the obligatory three runs for a mark and has shown enough to merit respect while Forest Dragon has been showing good pace over further. Sienna Says has been disappointing since a fine run at Newbury in June though that was on fast going. Llamrei has a chance with her low weight but the booking of Silvestre De Sousa for the ex-Irish ZIZUM catches the eye. Now with George Scott, he didn't get going until too late on his first start for the yard at Yarmouth and looks the type to do better.
