Gemologist is a regular here but now 0-43 in career starts. The New Marwan is well treated on past form and eased in grade while Boasty has been going well on the all-weather, though has not placed on this surface in seven attempts. Wolverhampton scorer Sun Festival is another yet to win on Turf and GRACES QUEST is preferred at the weights. She only won a seller here last August but the second won next time and her latest third over track and trip suggests she is better than a plater.
