Clary hasn’t won since 2015 but showed some improvement at Ayr recently having undergone wind surgery at the end of last year. Sunhill Lad ended last season with a second at Redcar and can race off the same mark while I Am Dandy and Lukoutoldmakezebak have been thereabouts over 7f recently though neither has won on Turf so far and Optima Petamus has had just the one success in 37 starts on the Flat. MAJESTE hasn’t won since 2016 but was a fast-finishing third over a slightly shorter trip here last time and Rebecca Bastiman’s charge gets the vote in a weak handicap.
