Gorgeous Noora has untapped potential but will need to be useful to win this following a lengthy absence. Poet's Princess could be interesting as she was only beaten a head over course and distance back in May when 4lb higher, though has done little since. Hart Stopper was behind Related on the July course here last month but did better at Thirsk, though wouldn’t want any rain. MONT KIARA has won twice here and missed the break over 5f at Ascot last time. He is probably worth another chance, though Farleigh Mac could be given a chance on his best form. Ninjago and Moonraker also have a squeak.
