More Beau had Honey Meadow back in sixth when scoring easily at Redcar last time. Hustle Bustle can be given a chance back on the Polytrack and Prize has scope for improvement, but Biotic has been beaten off higher marks since winning here in March. Serata Di Gala is yet another with claims on her second to the progressive Moonspring at this venue in May but CLASSIC PURSUIT finished closer to that one despite finishing only fifth over course and distance last time and Ron Harris' charge gets the nod in a wide-open sprint.
