This looks quite competitive despite the modest prize money. Frankie is back on board Amlak and he wasn't beaten far on Tapeta last time. Compton Lane won easily at Chepstow though has no experience on an artificial surface. Katrine has been back on song lately but is another having a first run on Polytrack while Makman has quickly become expensive to follow. LADY CLEO was much improved when third at Chelmsford and may have been let in lightly here on a mark of 69, though will need to break well to take advantage of her low draw. Rose Berry won on Turf here before finishing second at Wolverhampton so is another with claims but Syncopation has been racing over longer trips.
