Having landed a double at Chesptow earlier, Annaluna should have done better racing off a lower mark back on the all-weather last time. Speed Steed went close at Kempton the last time he raced on the Flat and can figure but NINFEA makes most appeal. The latter scored at Yarmouth on Tuesday and Cam Hardie's 5lb allowance negates most of a penalty as she makes a quick reappearance. Quadriller and Vertueux are harder to fancy.
