Belisa won here in August and also at Newcastle earlier but the extra quarter-mile on soft going may be too far as Walsingham Grange is likely to set a strong pace as he stays further. Framley Garth won at Doncaster last month but was only fifth off his new mark at Beverley on Thursday. TAKE A TURN is probably high enough in the weights on his return to action but neither trip nor going will be a problem and he’s entitled to be thereabouts. Sula Island looks to be on a fair mark on her handicap debut on Turf and her yard does well here.
