Calling The Wind was always cantering over his rivals when scoring over 2m4f at Goodwood but he’s a thorough stayer likely to find himself outpaced over this much shorter trip. Nate The Great also stays much further while his stablemate Star Caliber has proved expensive to follow. SURREY GOLD didn’t quite last home over 1m6f in the Melrose at York but was far from disgraced. Impressive here in the spring, Hughie Morrison’s three-year-old will relish the drop back in distance and has his ideal conditions. Makram is still heading in the right direction and rates a danger while Labeebb has been threatening to pick up a decent handicap all season. Twisted Reality runs in her first handicap and also warrants a second look.
