Aertex failed to cope with a rise in class at Sandown last time and this is tougher while Little Shambles steps up a couple of grades after scoring at Catterick. Gown looks capable of scoring off her current mark judged on her comeback second at Newbury but it's the less exposed types that make most appeal. They include Rekdhat and Newcastle winner Free Rein while both Provenance and Bragging were placed on their handicap debuts and are worthy of consideration. But ETAAB is another with plenty of scope and the hat-trick beckons for Willie Haggas' filly after beating a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time.
