Vitalline is upped in class and raised 5lb after scoring over track and trip so RUN FORREST RUN is preferred. The novice winner found only one too good here last month, with Libertine Belle back in third, and George Baker’s charge should go close again. Liberty Bay could only manage fourth at the track on her handicap debut while the likes of Mitrosonfire, Shaykhoon and Footstepsonthemoon go handicapping for the first time.
