Duty Doctor has proved a little in and out, but she remained prominent throughout here and is perhaps now going the right way.
Oceana Blue was back over the distance at which she''d won at Kempton on her penultimate start, and she continues in good heart.
Tea Cake, another seasonal debutante, could be worth watching next time too, especially if she is upped in trip.
Also doing her best work late on was Pantherii, who shaped as if she can do better.
Miss Firefly could do with some more respite from the handicapper, while the well-backed favourite, Rescue Me was presumably expected to do much better than she did, though this was her return to action and she might be able to recover losses next time.
