WHISPERING WORDS is penalised for winning at Newmarket last month but, given that was his seasonal debut, improvement is expected. Venus Rosewater represents last year’s winning yard but needs to reverse running with the selection having subsequently gone close over track and trip while the latter’s stablemate Velvet Crush failed to show any progress at Chelmsford last time. The newcomer Summer Of Love is another Godolphin runner and is related to a couple of winners.
