A course and distance winner, Sebastian's Wish is one to consider having gone close over a shorter trip here last time. Royal Cosmic makes a quick reappearance having found one too good at Hamilton earlier in the week and the latter can also figure but a chance is taken on NEEDS TO BE SEEN. The winning hurdler has yet to score on the Flat but ran well for third at Newmarket last month and should go close with a similar effort in this company partnered by Josephine Gordon. Trautmann landed a double here last summer and could also be thereabouts with Paula Muir taking 5lb off his back.
