Colourbearer is in fine form but has a penalty to carry after his victory at Southwell on Tuesday and has yet to win on turf. Memphis Man was second off this mark at Goodwood last Sunday and should be involved at the business end but Athaakeel may be in the handicapper's grip and Ridgeway Sapphire and Flaxen Lake look vulnerable after finishing down the field at Bath on Wednesday. Avoncreek disappointed at Hamilton last month so it's FULL SHILLING, who won a maiden handicap over C&D last month and improved again to finish second to Blue Deer at Warwick, who gets the nod. John Spearing's filly still looks to be on a decent mark.
