May Rose has progressed with each of three maiden runs and looks fairly weighted moving into handicap company where she also takes on her elders. She's respected as an improving filly but this is also her first experience of turf and she may find one or two too good. Soaring Spirits stays further than 6f so expect Robert Winston to adopt the usual aggressive tactics on the Tamayuz gelding who has found his form with a vengeance on recent outings, Raised 10lb for two decisive successes, he'll give this hat-trick attempt a good shot for his in-form yard. However, ETIENNE GERARD has also recently come to the boil and was impressive over trip and ground when scoring at Windsor latest. He has a course and distance victory to his name from last season and Kieran Schofield's claim may just swing matters in his favour here.
