Risque Heights can gain compensation for a couple of near misses with Tommy Tobougg and Sparky Vixen appearing the most obvious dangers. Gerard Butler's charge narrowly failed to overhaul Poppy's Sweetlove last time out and as he has proven that he can act with cut in the ground, today's opportunity appears there for the taking. Tommy Tobougg ran well behind Spice Route in an early season maiden at Haydock but has something to prove these days, especially in light of an absence. Sparky Vixen is surprisingly kept at the trip in spite of appearing as if needing further. That said, this lack does lack strength in depth. Takanewa is stepped up in trip having been tried over shorter. Papa's Princess is watched in the market upon introduction. Risque Heights has had plenty of chances to break his maiden but he will struggle to find one as obvious as this.
