Ishikawa was beaten less than a length over this trip at Lingfield last time but seems to reserve his best for the Polytrack. The step up in distance could be a problem for penalised Beverley winner Know No Fear while Mighty Clarets hasn't won outside of selling company since early last year, though has been in decent form lately. Iguacu is getting closer but ZUZU ANGEL was arguably an unlucky loser over 1m here earlier in the month and gives the impression she'll stay the extra this term. With David Kenny taking off 5lb, William Knight's filly can finally get off the mark this afternoon.
