Blue News hasn't done much wrong in two recent starts over 7f here and should have no problems staying the extra. CYBER ATTACK is also tackling a mile for the first time but was staying on when beaten less than a length earlier this month and she can get off the mark. Bitacora was well supported for her debut here three weeks ago but couldn't quite see it through after being up with the pace throughout. Hypnotise Me has a smart pedigree and made a very encouraging start here last month while Head Of State is one for market-watchers.
