The handicapper has struggled to keep tabs on Cyflymder, while Paquerettza is on an upward curve, as is Tiger Reigns, but MULL OF KILLOUGH can return after a break to collect this lucrative prize. Paquerettza has been running at a good level, and kept on in game style to score at Newmarket a fortnight ago. She did disappoint when tried on ground this soft last season however, and may find it too testing. Cyflymder is only 3lbs higher than when completing a hat-trick recently, and the ground will not be a problem, but he is trying a new trip here and the winning run may end a furlong out. On a line through Firebet, Tiger Reigns has 9lbs to find with the selection, who had impressed when scoring at Thirsk and Warwick. Firebet has since chased home Harbinger in Group company at Goodwood, and Mull of Killough looks well treated and can prove too strong for his opponents.
