With Tanforan likely to set the pace here, a draw towards the centre of the track may prove advantageous. That brings penalised recent winners Ocean Countess, DANESIDE and Sopran Nad into the equation with preference for Gary Harrison's four-year-old who bolted up at Windsor last Sunday and is probably still on the upgrade. Dancing Welcome could reverse recent course running with Sopran Nad over this extra furlong and should again beat Tourist but Mr Maximas is probably in the handicapper's grip now and Tuscan King has more to do than when second in an amateurs' race over C&D last week.
