Two-thirds of this field have already won on this unconventional track. Soaring Spirits is one and he would have found 6f too sharp last month at Epsom. Hedging is well treated on his victory over 7f here in April but this trip has proved beyond him so far. Coachella has every chance on these terms and will like the ground but CRICKLEWOOD GREEN pops up in races like this now and again and his turn may have come around, though it is off-putting that he has run in a few claimers and a seller this year without winning. Imbucato has gone up 4lb since his third behind a subsequent winner here last time and that puts him on a career-high mark.
