Cornish Beau must go close here if translating recent useful form on Polytrack to Turf. Iceman George beat the consistent Spanish Plume over course and distance last month but could only finish fourth at Bath next time and is 6lb higher here. KITTENS is easing towards a competitive mark and collateral form suggests she might have the beating of Monopoli, who only won a seller here last time. Willie Muir's filly can get back to winning ways.
