Pushkin Museum switched yards after scoring at Wolverhampton in November though winning partner Adam Kirby stays loyal. Aguerooo scored over track and trip a week ago but had earlier finished behind fourth-placed MAJORETTE here. The latter also beat Flirtare on that occasion and it could be the turn of Brian Barr’s mare to get her head back in front. Midnight Guest and Impart have proved best over the minimum trip so far though the latter has won over 6f in the past.
