Canford Thompson has his first run since December last year and has never won on the Flat. DING DING is only 1-13 on the level but she’s won four times over hurdles, including on her reappearance at Plumpton. She might be the one to beat if reproducing that form here. Shan Dun Na Ngall is another returning from a break but he won on his only previous visit to this track. Color Force wasn’t disgraced on her first run for a new yard but she’s never tackled a trip this far before.
