Caius Marcius has slipped down the weights and hinted at a revival at Musselburgh last time. Constancio wasn’t winning out of turn at that track four weeks ago but is unlikely to get an easy lead here as Sofia's Rock also races prominently as does Gordon's Jet, who will need a strong gallop given he won over 2m4f at Sedgefield. Hydroplane was in great form in the spring but is returning from a break. Bryony Frost has yet to win on WILL STING but the partnership went close at Sandown off this mark and could go one better today, though Rattle Owl looks a danger as he appeared to be travelling best when falling two out at Wetherby last month.
