Summerghand won a heritage handicap at York last week and got the better of Tabdeed in this contest 12 months ago. The latter reversed the form in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood last month but GREAT AMBASSADOR was the eye-catcher in that race, running on strongly in the closing stages having been held up well off the pace. Ed Walker’s gelding won in this grade at York last year and his turn may have come around again. Vadream has her sights lowered and Fauvette usually runs her race. Manaccan boasts solid handicap form but this is a big step up in class for Pure Dreamer and Daneh is having a first run in 12 months over a trip that may be too short.
