Race preview
SALLEY GARDENS performed much better than forecast when finishing a staying-on second over an inadequate trip at Leicester last month. That was the eight-year-old's first outing in 515 days and compensation could be on the cards over this longer distance. Homme D'Un Soir made all here 21 days ago and is effectively racing off the same mark now that Alice Stevens can use her 3lb claim. Billy Aprahamian's gelding is feared most, ahead of Gilbertina.
