Presumido wasn't beaten that far despite only finishing sixth behind Chevise in one of these events last time. He looks to have strong claims and Clock Opera should also go well having gone close again last time after scoring here in November. But RANDOM SUCCESS looked good value for her recent three-quarters of a length defeat of Roy's Legacy and Roger Charlton's unexposed filly is fancied to follow-up. Both Idle Curiosity and One Way Or Another have something to find with Presumido on latest running and recent 7f winner Minimee makes more appeal dropping back in distance.
