Loma Larnee ran an excellent race when a very close fourth in an all aged handicap on Wednesday so has to be respected if turning out quickly. Cross Border has been staying on over 6f so stepping up in trip looks certain to suit and he should get into the money again. Joseph O‘Brien won this last year and SAILOR‘S WARNING can follow suit. She was having her first start for over a year over a mile three weeks ago where she threatened briefly only to fade close home. The shorter trip will be in her favour and she can get off the mark. Gioiella has run 10 times in France where her best effort came when a close third on Polytrack at Chantilly. Marble Angel made good ground from the rear over 6f last week.
