Dotada was successful in this last year but is now 11lb higher and Tellelle, who finish a couple of lengths behind in third and has a 6lb advantage, can reverse the form in first-time blinkers. Hedaaya has been in fine form on turf and though she has been racing over further her stamina has been giving out and this may prove her optimum trip. Headford Lady was in excellent form during the summer on turf but is now a massive 16lb higher than for her latest success. TWEEDY made all the running to score over 6f here early last month but disappointed three weeks later when held up. Forcing tactics are likely to be employed again this time and she can recoup losses.
