Clive Cox should find a race for the maiden Hassle before the end of the year but he has plenty of weight on his handicap debut. Choral Festival reserves her best for Windsor and only ran there on Monday while Forceful Appeal may still be a few pounds too high in the handicap and couldn't justify favouritism at Epsom two weeks ago. JEWELLED is still a pound higher than when last successful but Lady Herries' mare is running well at present and it would be no surprise were she to end her frustrating run of placed efforts here and end the unbeaten record of Regal Hawk, though the latter is probably still improving.
