This looks anybody's race with only Avid Kale and Homeboy yet to win but both posting good efforts last time. Kieren Fallon's booking for Khaleeji suggests a big run is expected from him on his return, while Chepstow winner Rossetti showed ability last summer and makes her reappearance. Never Never Land makes his seasonal debut after scoring at Wolverhampton and Tamareen and Ree's Rascal both ended last season with doubles. However, a chance is taken that FLYNN'S BOY can continue his progress and land his hat-trick after recent victories at Southwell and Lingfield.
