Things didn't go BETTY BASSETT's way here recently and, better judged on her handicap debut success at Wetherby on penultimate start, she is taken to resume winning ways. Homeland was a close third to the selection in that Wetherby handicap and should again be hot on the heels of Ian Williams' representative. Romantic Spirit would be a serious player if able to back up his recent all-weather form now back on turf, while Dream Angel also has claims.
