The quietly progressive Call At Midnight should be on the premises again and she looks to hold Lost Glory as that one was 69 lengths behind Lawney Hill's mare at Fontwell last month although he may have needed the run and is worth a cursory check with McCoy taking over in the saddle. Cubism hasn't proved the most consistent but is entitled to respect, Court Red Handed may fare better now tried in a tongue strap whilst Fool's Wildcat is of obvious interest for a shrewd yard. Admiral Dundas and Timpo are respected but preference is for STRUMBLE HEAD whose narrow success at Plumpton was given a boost when the runner-up scored on his next start and he may be able to follow up from just a 4lb higher mark.
