Both Running Reef and Admirable Art made the frame over 7f on their latest outings but have something to prove over today's longer trip. Lil Sophella makes more appeal on her recent second at Hamilton while Royal Straight returns to action back on a winning mark. But EWELL PLACE rates the section after finding only one too good on his last couple of starts and he can race off the same mark as when second at Carlisle earlier in the month.
