Hard to find any worthwhile recent form in this contest, but AINE'S DELIGHT has at least been winning over hurdles and she gets the token vote back on the Flat. Ryan Moore takes over the reins on Galiotto and he scored over timber in March, while King Kieren was placed a couple of times on Polytrack earlier this year. Barbirolli has won at Wolverhampton but that was in an even lower grade than this and the winless Lucky Diva made the frame at the same track back in January.
