Brass Compass takes a big drop in class having folded tamely in allowance company when last in action and Where Paradise Lay is another on the drop with the past form to get involved. But SOUTH SEA finished runner-up when sent off favourite at Parx in February and David Fawkes’ charge gets the vote to go one better in this company having won four times last year. Front Loaded went close in a tougher claimer here last time and is preferred to Vincero and Hard Belle on that form.
