Thought good enough for a Group 1 debut in September, ASSURANCE can build on a solid effort over C&D last month finishing third of 13 beaten 1L behind Aerclub. The daughter of Teofilo is sure to be a warm order which may highlight a number of lively outsiders in the shape of Moll who was not far behind the selection over C&D last month and Natahoolababy who caught the eye on her first start for five months when finishing sixth of 14 beaten over 8L when not knocked about over 7f here earlier this month. Rosiewood and the Mick Halford-trained Haifa can improve on their most recent starts while Cannoli and Noble Heritage appear the best of the newcomers.
