Never In is very modest while newcomer Ambitious Icarus will surely find this trip too sharp. Wicked Wench ran well when runner-up to Quite A Thing over 6f here last month but the drop to 5f looks a bit of a gamble and, on a line through Scrooby Doo, Jo Hughes' filly is likely to find BENGALINE too strong. He was only headed close home over 6f here in August and was biting off more than he could chew at York last time. Beechey's Beauty showed promise on turf in the summer but has lost his way a little lately and is now tried in blinkers.
