Some guesswork involved as the top-weighted trio have no form on soft going. However, the winning half-sister to MARCUS AUGUSTUS handled cut in the ground so Richard Hannon's charge gets the vote with useful apprentice Kieran O'Neill taking a handy 3lb off his back. Rusty Rocket has a penalty for his recent victory over 7f at Catterick, but still make more appeal than Crowning Star, who has been in good form in lesser-grade contests. The remainder have a bit of catching up to do with Beau Mistral's win coming over 5f on fast ground and dual winner Silvas Romana struggling off her current mark.
