INDIA came here for a Class 5 handicap last month and made all for a very convincing victory and though she couldn't stage a repeat when stepped up to this level at Leicester she can get back to winning ways. Reveleon was having his first start for new connections when battling to a narrow victory in a minor Nottingham handicap and should have the scope to do a bit better. Ad Libitum has run his best races over this trip and found 1m2f too short last time but Breathable has been beaten twice off lower marks than this since scoring at Beverley. Dubai Empire had little chance in the Queen's Vase and has since been gelded. He would also prefer some cut in the ground while Unwritten's only victory came on heavy going.
