Ebtsama was no match for a subsequent Group 3 winner when second at Kempton in August but is not out of this on her reappearance. CLOCH NUA has the more recent form with a third over track and trip on his first outing since September and George Scott’s charge may have the edge today. Natalie Rose finished closer at Wolverhampton recently while Aldhaja is a brother to a winner and fellow newcomer Frustrating is related to several winners.
