Secret Vote started favourite on her debut for Richard Hannon over 7f at Doncaster in June but got outpaced before staying on late. Paris Duvet was a 33/1 chance when just failing to hold off Altair over 7f here last month and the well-bred winner could be quite smart. Her stable is represented here by LOVEE DOVEE, who started favourite for that event but didn't get the run of the race and is expected to gain compensation as she was only beaten just over a length. The newcomer Full Moon Magic, a daughter of Teofilo, also represents the yard and is one to note. Closer Now made her debut at the Curragh in August and had a nice introduction, showing up well until fading close home. She'll be wiser now, has an entry in the Irish 1000 Guineas, and looks certain to go well while Dermot Weld's Feather Step is a half-sister to a couple of winners and out of a 7f winner..
