Miserere Mei landed a seller last time and looks best of the fillies, but the winner is likely to come from the quartet at the head of the weights. Compton Target showed improved form at Chepstow last time but that was over 5f, while Backtrade is steadily improving but races on Polytrack for the first time. Invincible Dream went close when third over today's trip at Wolverhampton last month and should be bang there at the finish, but FLAVIUS VICTOR had a subsequent winner behind when runner-up at the same track in June and Richard Hannon's colt is just preferred.
