Pepita won at Windsor last month when Angel Of Darkness and Chupalla filled the places. But all three have been beaten subsequently so CURIOUS FOX, the only four-year-old in the race, gets the vote. She won at Newmarket in July when last encountering soft ground and should make another bold bid. Hindsight opened her account in a maiden race at over 7f here recently while Beck And Call beat Pepita a neck over track and trip earlier this year but has struggled on soft going subsequently.
