It's difficult to get away form GALLIPOT in this. She found only Astra Hall, who has won again since, too good over today's trip on the Turf at Lingfield last month and a repeat can see John Gosden's filly off the mark. Bold Cuffs was a big disappointment when well beaten at Haydock last time though his yard has hit top form since and he beat the re-opposing Exning Halt in a maiden on the Polytrack earlier. Chatterati has been placed on Turf the last twice but is rated 12lb higher on the all-weather so the lightly-raced Sky Khan makes more appeal on only his second start handicapping.
