Soft ground may have been responsible for The Thrill Is Gone's below par effort last time, but her earlier third to Night Carnation gives him the beating of Shoshoni Wind and Bathwick Bear. Albany Rose bids for a four-timer in much better company off a 9lb higher mark and QUALITY ART makes more appeal if avoiding a fight for the lead with Bold Bidder. The latter went close when trying to make all here in May, but could end up providing a good lead for Kevin Ryan's charge, who is chasing his fourth win of the year.
