It was a case of smoothly does it for EVENING STORY here last week and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose a problem, she is taken to complete the hat-trick. The clear main danger is fellow 3-y-o Governor of India, who made a winning all-weather/handicap debut over C&D recently and almost certainly has more to offer. Sagauteur was hot on the heels of Governor of India that day, but the each-way angle could be Highwaygrey, who encountered traffic problems when fifth in that same race.
