Verdict
Amazing Alba finally got off the mark when scoring over track and trip recently but Indian Pursuit wasn’t beaten far in second and re-opposes on better terms. The former had earlier finished in front of The Defiant here and the latter has subsequently finished runner-up on the all-weather but GORGEOUS GOBOLINA gets another chance. A course and distance winner in July, she went close in soft ground at Catterick last time and should be in the mix once again. Bashiba finished closer at Haydock having slipped down the weights and is preferred to Lydiate Lady.
