Not many of these arrive in good form but Baby Strange has finished closer of late. But he's been drawn out with the washing and WITHERNSEA makes more appeal. He finished runner-up at Newbury last time and Jack Garrity's 5lb allowance could give him the edge. Al Mannaal scored over 7f at Wolverhampton recently and Surety ran well for third over a mile at Kempton last week. Verus Delicia remains 10lb higher than her win at Bath in July but Bethany Boy has slipped down the weights and is a course and distance winner.
