Saeed Bin Suroor's recent Wolverhampton winner Makeynn is unexposed after just two starts but the son of Dubai Destination is far from certain to handle the cut in the ground and it may be worth siding with John Gosden's PLEA. The son of Motivator has not lived up to his pedigree yet but the change to racing on a softer surface may bring about improvement in him and he looks worth chancing off a mark of just 67 with the yard in such good form. Barathea Dancer could be of interest back on turf having run well first time in a handicap on the Polytrack at Kempton last month and he makes more appeal than Andrew Balding's Time To Work, who won his maiden here but seems too high in the weights now. Mark Johnston's inconsistent Colour Vision and the Barry Hills-trained One Lucky Lady are others to consider but it is Plea that gets the verdict.
