Charlie Wallis sent out last year’s winner and runs both recent Wolverhampton winner Precious Plum and Arzaak. The former should go well again on her second start after wind surgery but RED STRIPES makes most appeal. The latter won over the minimum trip at Goodwood last month and, having placed in both subsequent starts, gets the vote dropping down a grade on his return to the all-weather. Snow Patch journeys over from Ireland and has a shout while Poeta Brasileiro went close over 6f here a week ago and is another to consider.
