Thunder Beauty travels over from Ireland with every chance on these terms while Meu Amor has gone close at this level in the past. Mamba Wamba finished behind the latter at Epsom last time but Illykato landed a Listed race at Goodwood last month and is another to consider. William Haggas won this with a novice in 2019 and the unbeaten CLOUDY DAWN may also prove up to the task. She won a handicap in good style at Yarmouth on her latest start and there looks more to come over this extra distance.
