Grand Theft Equine has shown promise in a couple of all-weather maidens but High Samana has had plenty of chances. The latter's stablemate, SANDBANKS SIZZLER, was beaten more than 10 lengths when third to Hunter's Light on his debut at Newmarket in May but the second and fourth have both won since so the form looks solid and Jim Crowley's mount is the one to beat here. Montefeltro ran green when dead-heating for third place at Pontefract 10 days ago and may need more time but The Mongoose will strip fitter for his comeback fifth at Windsor and can't be ignored. Perilously was fourth at Kempton after a break and could be best of the rest.
