Gottardo has been placed over shorter trips recently but has yet to run over this far while CAREY STREET drops back down in trip after a second at Yarmouth. The latter wasn’t beaten far over a mile at Ayr before that and is taken to make a winning debut on the all-weather. Swansdown has shown no progress over middle-distances but Beverley Bullet usually goes well here having won over track and trip during the summer and is preferred to Traveller off his current mark.
