GORGEOUS GENERAL has won back to back on a few occasions during his career so he might be able to cope with a small rise for last month's Newcastle success. Red Allure arrives on the back of a couple of placed efforts at Newcastle so she's an obvious threat. Naughty Ana is capable off this mark if at her best, while Elektronic needs a betting check on first run for Mick Appleby.
