Humility, Samuel Charles and Molem form the shortlist for this handicap with the vote given to Humility. The selection is a course and distance winner and she ran a cracker from 13lbs out of the handicap here last time when a close fourth behind High Ridge. A reproduction of that effort would make her hard to beat and she sets the standard for the rest. Samuel Charles is interesting as he stepped-up significantly on his previous efforts when he was a good second behind Bee Stinger here last time. The booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye and he has definite claims. Molem finished four lengths behind Takes Tutu at Brighton but he had a poor draw that day so it was certainly a respectable effort. Hey Presto might have claims if this were on the turf but he is not as good on the all-weather, and for the winner we will return to Humility who gets the narrow vote.
