Flying Sakhee appeared to show big improvement when encountering ground with some give over 6f here last time. But COOPERESS was just behind and hampered close home so, on slightly better terms, is fancied to reverse the form and land this given she won over this trip at Sandown in July and stay further. Shongololo wasn't beaten far at Ffos Las in August and remains relatively unexposed but he's shown his best form on quicker surfaces. Gift From God may not have been done any favours by the handicapper but this represents a slight drop in class and he's had just the four starts so far. No Refund may be the pick of the remainder.
