Kittens is up 6lb for her recent win at Leicester and will need to improve again if she's to follow up. Langham Lily had Dazzling Valentine back in sixth when runner-up at Windsor last month and should be in the shake-up but CANDOLUMINESCENCE make most appeal. She finished a respectable fourth over a mile at Salisbury on her belated reappearance but a middle-distance pedigree suggests she'll really come into her own over today's longer trip. Flashy Star appears to be making up the numbers but Kingston Eucalypt isn't without ability but still needs more.
