Most have a handicap rating and there’s little between them on these terms. Rhossili Down has placed over today’s trip on more than one occasion while Society Guest finished runner-up at York a week ago though finished a long way behind the winner. Desert Land may do better back on faster going for this but a speculative vote goes to WOODS sporting first-time headgear for his debut on Turf having been gelded since last in action in February. Ricochet, Sirius Slew and Gambon have been best over 6f so far and Moveonup has a bit to find at the weights.
