Amazing Blue Sky and Unknown Rebel are both previous C&D winners but the former is high enough in the weights now and the latter has been well below par this term. The ground may be too fast for Tres Coronas and Brockfield, and Redcar winner Kalk Bay would also appreciate any overnight rain, but conditions won't bother Tartan Gigha though he still has his fair share of weight. CERTRAL was only beaten a length-and-a-quarter behind Franciscan over 1m4f at York three runs ago and is unexposed over this trip. Brian Ellison's filly can get her head back in front today granted luck in-running as Merchant Of Medici may have stamina limitations.
