Gone Dutch will need to improve again after landing a lowly handicap at Newmarket and Sweet Deal has more scope having won at Goodwood last month. Autun won nicely over track and trip last time and is another to consider along with Brighton winner Soryah. Masquerading makes more appeal than Theodore Gericault but a chance is taken on DUCHESS OF SEVILLE in a wide-open contest. Marco Botti's filly ran out an eight length winner at Wolverhampton last month and should hold her own in this company as she goes handicapping for the first time.
