Larghetto went close over track and trip before scoring at Kempton and should be in the mix again. Pucker Up looks a threat on her handicap bow having found only one too good last time while Prince Of Burma scored over course distance in between modest efforts at Wolverhampton. The latter had a few of these behind when winning here including Perfect Haven and MAGICAL ROSE but it's Paul D'Arcy's charge that's gets the nod to take revenge on today's better terms. Welsh Sunrise is lightly-raced and could also figure dropping back in distance for this.
