Distant High won this last year when a pound higher. He goes well fresh so another big run is anticipated. Rum Swizzle won over this trip at Lingfield last month but her best from on Turf so far has come over longer distances. PERFECT QUEST only won by a short-head on her reappearance at Windsor and has been raised by the obligatory 6lb but she won here last August so track and going are in her favour and she should take all the beating again. Ghinia was racing in better company for most of last season but she’s only tried this trip once before.
