Verdict
If You Dare made all over track and trip last month and is 4lb higher. Trumble has been raised 7lb having won over 6f here though stays this far and can figure again. Separate debuts on the all-weather having slid down the weights but Liberated Lady still looks in the handicapper’s grip. CHIEF OF STAFF has faded badly in the closing stages on his last couple of outings so it’s no surprise he’s undergone wind surgery. A maiden winner back in June, the Godolphin charge may well bounce back to form in this.
