Grain Of Sense is the least exposed of this field and has every chance of staying this longer trip on pedigree. He ran well in two starts last year at Newmarket. Indigo Lake could figure if handling the switch to Turf while Nottingham winner Zegalo is worth a try over 1m4f being out of a Galileo mare. FAVORITE MOON is a half-brother to stayers Fun Mac and Favorite Girl so stamina won’t be an issue and he wasn’t beaten far at Newbury and Wolverhampton last year. Angel On High won at Lingfield in January but will need to improve again to land this.
