PRAVDA STREET was out of sorts for most of last season and was ending a two year barren spell when scoring at Newcastle on his reappearance. He's 4lb higher today but if Brian Ellison has him right back to his best then a follow-up shouldn't be beyond him. He had Music Festival back in third last time and the latter should go close again, but Clumber Place is better with some cut in the ground. Coolminx could figure stepping back up in trip and dropping down a grade and Social Rhythm has claims on her return.
