Accalia has been headed right on the line in her last two starts and she doesn't appear to have much to do here so should make a bold bid to go one better. Dnaneer has shown a bit of potential in the UK so she's one to note in the market but this can go to I WILL EXCEL. He has had 21 starts and only run once over this trip though he generally shows good pace in handicaps as he did when sixth in a huge field at the Curragh on Saturday. A Likely Story hasn't been seen since May, when he disappointed at Navan, but he'd been running well previously including in Listed company so is an obvious threat.
