This won't take much winning and top weight Cataria Girl must go on the short-list. She hasn't been beaten far in either start since winning at Bath in July when veteran Bold Cross was well behind. April Ciel is starting look well handicapped again but he's not as well treated as GUILDED SPIRIT. Richard Hughes has been booked for the latter which suggests Stuart Kittow believes a return to form to be imminent. On Demand continues to look very one-paced and was behind fellow maiden Society Pearl at Ffos Las last month. The latter can't get much lower in the weights while Distant High is a lot less exposed than most of these.
