Sayifyouwill has been knocking on the door and Jim Crowley looks a significant jockey booking. Sense Of Romance might be suited by the step up in trip and Shaqeeqa won her maiden over course and distance last month. After finishing third at Kempton in September, SPIRIT OF THE BAY was a little out of her comfort zone at Newmarket but she still ran well for a long way and this is a huge drop in class. Kartvelian is another likely to improve for another winter but Under Wraps was a disappointing favourite last time and has changed stables. Alcazan is on a hat-trick but steps up a grade, though shouldn’t be ignored.
