Wells De Lune and Dashing Oscar look exposed and are likely to find this a demanding task conceding weight to progressive rivals. Heatstroke and Airton have similar profiles and should improve on efforts to date while Laughing Luis and Bold Reason also look types to progress further but PASSING CALL is preferred. The mare racked up a smooth three-timer on good ground last season before subsequently finding the combination of Listed grade and soft going a bridge too far last time. Back on her preferred ground conditions, she remains on a workable mark from which Alan King is likely to can eke out further improvement.
