Half of these are course and distance winners with Koybig leading the way on four track victories and he's won from higher marks. Able Jack completed a double last month and didn't quite get the run of the race on his hat-trick bid Captainofthebounty didn't win in seven starts for Aidan O'Brien nor when making his debut for Joseph last week though that was his first start since July. MIRACLES IN MAY was in good form on Turf in the autumn and made a successful debut on the surface here a month ago. He has a 7lb rise to overcome but looks up to the task. Paris Duvet made most and never looked like being caught by Annie B in a maiden last month so a big run from the latter earlier will boost her chances. Cautious Approach found 1m4f too far after completing a double in October and isn't out of this.
