ASHRAM is weighted to win this and should oblige now dropping in grade leaving Chantilly Tiffany and Acclaimed best placed to take advantage if things don't pan out the way we expect in this conditions race. Excuses can be made for the pick's last run in listed company and it was out of character has he has been consistently good at that level and above including a place in Group Three company. He was well held in the 2000 Guineas but this is his easiest assignment to date and he has terms in his favour. Chantilly Tiffany has yet to live up to her form of last year where she just missed out on a listed title. That said all her runs this term have been in Group company and while she should go better here she has at least six pounds to find on the pick. Acclaimed encouraged on his sole start in this company on just his second run last time. However that was nearly a year ago so there¿s a concern about race sharpness and the weights look against him. It's a little tricky to make a strong case for any of the others and Ashram should take advantage of these terms.
