Emilia James has proved best over the minimum trip so far and went close over 5f here last time. EXPECTING made all over 5f at Wolverhampton recently but looks worth another try over today’s distance on that form and Ryan Moore’s presence suggests he’ll last home. Central City won over 6f before struggling at Yarmouth and Another Day Of Sun was placed at Newcastle when finishing ahead of Fink Hill.
