Bollin Joan was in good form in July but appears to have gone off the boil and her stable hold stronger claims with Bollin Margaret, who returned to winning ways at Ayr. NOBLE MASQUERADE probably didn’t last home over 1m6f at Haydock last time but still ran well and has a good chance of picking up the winning thread again here with probable favourite Wink Of An Eye looking high enough in the weights when only sixth at York last month. Bad Company and Uncle Dick have place claims on the pick of their form.
