Blessed Place has been in good form on the All-Weather, but he showed next to nothing in three outings on turf last year. He looks to have something to prove back on grass. This fast ground will hold no fears for Tirailleur, who won a couple of claimers back in June. She struggled on the All-Weather through the winter, but back on turf, she is one to keep an eye on. However, a chance is taken with handicap debutante Move It, even though he is by soft ground sire Cadeaux Genereux. His dam Midnight Shift, handled fast ground and is a half-sister to the top-class sprinter Owington, so there is clearly plenty of pace in the family.
