Siouxperhero made all to get off the mark at Newmarket two weeks ago but could face a battle for the lead here from Dance For Georgie, who adopted similar tactics to score over a mile at Musselburgh. Manomine also likes to race up with the pace while both Oratorian and Good Luck Charm appear to have their fair share of weight at present and Al's Memory was easily brushed aside when second at Lingfield. GOLD SCEPTRE is only a tentative selection as he's still a maiden but he has form in better company than this and could just be suited by the likely fast pace.
Oratorian (IRE) 40-1 (8-9) Held up in last trio, some headway when slightly hampered over 2f out, plugged on same pace inside final furlong, 5th of 10, 13l behind Halling Dancer (8-11) at Ascot 1m Apprentice Handicap (0-85) (3yo) (4) gs in Jul.
