Last year's winner Where's Reiley made all to score at Wolverhampton last time but may get taken on for the lead by Kuanyao. The latter led all the way over 6f here last month with a below-par DRAWNFROMTHEPAST behind. But Luke Dace's charge had gone close over track and trip on a couple of earlier occasions and can take his revenge on better terms. Imaginary Diva also had an off-day at Wolverhampton last time but a repeat of her earlier second to Roy's Legacy over course and distance would see her in the mix.
