Verdict
Restive’s recent success here came over 1m6f while Brisk Tempo steps back up in trip and has something to prove on an earlier effort over today’s distance. X Rated has done his winning so far over shorter trips though is still preferred to stablemate Firlinfeu while MAULESDEN MAY makes most appeal of Keith Dalgleish’s three runners. The latter floundered in soft going last time but scored over course and distance before that and gets the vote. Never Be Enough makes her handicap debut after going close over a mile and Qasr is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time after struggling at Ayr.
