CIO CIO SAN made a promising debut when third at Chepstow with a better fancied stablemate behind. She gets the speculative vote ahead of Vestibule, Sorcellerie and Malilla, who should all give a good account. Jonathan Portman has won this a couple of times in recent years so Annecdote is worth a second look while fellow newcomer Michael's Song is related to a host of winners and may figure. Momalorka, Light Up My Life and We Are City are others to keep an eye on in the betting and Peep N Creep was third at Thirsk and Tim Easterby rarely sends two-year-olds this far south without good reason.
