Making Eyes has been given a short break since winning at Kempton in July and returns to the fray off a 6lb higher mark and upped in class. Thistle Bird is also progressive, but the handicapper has taken no chances with her easy win at Windsor last month and raised her 9lb. Credit Swap returns to the Flat for the first time since winning last year's Cambridgeshire and this should prove a good prep for another attempt next month, while a case can made for both Circumvent and Shavansky. However, ROAYH was having his first start since February when fourth at Newmarket last month and has been given a chance by the assessor here having been dropped 5lb. He gets the nod to return to winning ways.
