Takeitfromalady won a shade cosily in the end at Windsor last time having been short of room in the closing stages. Today's penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid while Jack Who's He can also be given a chance back over a mile having finished second over 6f at the same track last time. RESTAURATEUR gave the impression he would not be long in winning when finishing a close-up third, also at Windsor, to Ocean Tempest on his recent seasonal reappearance. He gets the vote to find further improvement on only his fourth start. Tenbridge is another to consider back up in trip after scoring over 7f last month.
