Qushchi hasn't visited the winner's enclosure since she won this race last year and first time blinkers are tried by Willie Jarvis in an attempt to rediscover her sparkle. Frankie Dettori was aboard Silent Moment when she won a handicap at Kempton in July but he's elected to choose SURPRISE MOMENT and we'll back the Italian's judgement. The daughter of Authorised isn't the quickest of starters but she has proved extremely enthusiastic in a finish and has been able to scramble home on her two starts to date by the narrowest of margins. Gosbeck was a respectable fifth in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock Park and Henry Candy's four-year-old has to be given the utmost respect against her own sex. Infinitum is tried in cheekpieces for the first time having disappointed in a couple of maidens while Headline News hails from an unfashionable yard and deserves to take her chance at this level having won readily at Leicester.
