This is a very low-grade affair. Gerard Keane's horses are running well and though NAVAJO RIDGE has yet to be placed or run here he looks the type to do better so gets a speculative vote. Cacique Royale was making his track debut when a good fourth behind Forest View last week and the winner could boost the form in the previous race. Millford Sound has been unable to cope with a 6lb rise for scoring at Naas while Quite Subunctious produced her best all-weather run on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Oromo has a career record of 1-43 and that victory came over hurdles.
