An inside draw is of paramount importance in big fields here which may rule out last week's Yarmouth winner Acclio and Ascot runner-up Spring Loaded, who would have been the selection if better berthed. Cadeaux Power has been running well at a slightly higher level and has an inside berth along with Funding Deficit, who will be staying on at the finish but could find the track too sharp. KINEMATIC made all over the minimum trip at this fixture a year ago and hasn't had much racing subsequently. She's drawn in the middle but a fast start should see her in the front rank and hopefully she can hang on. Whozthecat has the best position of all and is just 1lb higher than the latest of his eight victories.
