Gold Trail scored at Newmarket a week ago and February's Wolverhampton winner should have no problem with this tight track. Missed Call is on the up judged on her recent Ascot success and is preferred to the likes of Blue Wave, Great Hall and Island Remede, who are all less than consistent. Stablemates Gabrial's King and Gabrial's Star share the same handicap rating and finished fourth and fifth respectively in the Chester Cup back in May while BANZARI was a creditable fourth in the Cheshire Oaks at the same meeting on her latest start. Michael Bell won this with a three-year-old last year in the shape of Big Orange and his Motivator filly looks sure to appreciate this longer trip.
