GRACEFUL LADY (NAP) won a tougher handicap than this over track and trip in July by nearly three lengths. A 6lb rise may not prevent her going in again today. Attention Seaker also arrives in fine form and bids for a hat-trick having won over 2m at both Catterick and Beverley last month while Blue Hussar has claims on his third here back in May but is having his first race since. Transpennine Star went close in a lower grade at Carlisle last time while Zenafire won off today’s mark over 2m at Chester in July. The likes of Airton, Kashmiri Sunset and Di Alta can all be given a chance if seeing out the longer distance.
