Who Loves Ya Baby had Guards Chapel behind when runner-up to Woop Woop at Kempton last month and the latter has since won again when ROMAN FLAME was fourth. Mick Quinn's filly comes out best here on that form and is dropping down a grade today. She's preferred to Kishanda, who makes a quick reappearance having finished third at Southwell on Thursday and is not out of this back on the Polytrack. Novel Dancer's recent third over C&D came in amateur company and Rowan Ridge has been way below his best of late.
