Oldjoesaid put up a better effort at Thirsk last time but remains hard to win with, while it was soft ground when Lucky Art went close at Catterick in July. Beauty Pageant is showing good progress but is 6lb higher and upped in class after scoring at Bath last month and Nomoreblondes is 7lb higher than her win at York, though she'll appreciate the return to the minimum trip. BRONZE BEAU attempted to make all in similar company at Ffos Las on his latest start only to be nosed out of it in the final stride with the remainder well beaten. Linda Stubbs' charge is taken to go one better here.
