William Hunter is well treated back on Turf and William Buick looks a significant jockey booking. He is possibly better on an easier surface but handles good to firm going. Sky Marshal was only beaten a short-head at Newbury last month but is 7lb higher now and facing a steep rise in class. Magellan is lightly raced but lacks a recent run and Sofia's Rock remains out of sorts. STONIFIC failed in his hat-trick bid off this mark at Chester, though didn’t get much luck in-running. He may be worth another chance as Danny Tudhope prefers him to course and distance winner Tawdeea. New Society is two from two this season but has no form on ground this quick.
