SOUND ADVICE had Dubai Dynamo back in third when making all in last year's renewal. Keith Dalgleish's charge faded in the closing stages here last time but that was in Class 2 company and he could take some catching in this. No Poppy looks on a high enough mark now raised 6lb for her win at Haydock so Eutropius is preferred after dead-heating for first at Newcastle last time. Balducci was behind the selection here before winning at Chester but Finn Class scored with a bit in hand at Haydock recently. Obsidian ran well at Epsom on Oaks day and is another with a shout dropping down a grade.
