FILAMENT OF GOLD is a regular around here and has won twice on the track, including over the trip. He can be relied on to go well so gets the vote. Sacred Sprite stays further than this, though is still 6lb higher than her only victory at Wolverhampton, while Taurean Dancer wasn't beaten far here last time but that was over 1m2f and he hasn't proved he stays this far. Tobacco Road has been in poor form though won off a 7lb higher mark at Windsor in October while Kiruna Peak has run poorly since scoring over hurdles in May.
