INCOMPARABLE is the only one of these to have won a race this year and that came over track and trip last month. Scott Dixon's charge is 2lb higher but is taken to confirm running with Niceonemyson, Beauty's Forte, Thornaby Princess and Argent Touch. The biggest threat of the latter group may be Beauty's Forte, fourth at Wolverhampton subsequently, given 2013 winner Niceonemyson has not won since. Belle Nellie is less exposed than most though looks no nearer to breaking her duck and a visor is applied for the first time.
