Potternello is the only one to have obliged last time but that victory arrived in selling grade and she now takes on Class 5 handicap company. Dear Bruin and CASCADING STARS were second and fourth at Newbury this month when separated by a length but positions can be reversed with Josephine Gordon, impressing at present, claiming a valuable 7lb off the topweight. Invade is making gradual progress at this level and seems sure to relish the move back to 7f. He hails from a yard renowned for a tilt at the ring and a market check is essential. Pyroclastic ran well last time and is another expected to be suited by the seventh furlong on offer.
