Yourartisonfire finished a length-and-a-half ahead of Le Chat D'Or in the Spring Mile at Doncaster 11 days ago and the pair re-oppose on identical terms. Karl Burke's charge should be thereabouts while Starfield has been on good form on both the Fibresand and Tapeta over the winter. October's Newbury winner Ice Slice is capable of further progress this year but Trail Blaze has become disappointing while Osteopathic Remedy usually needs a run or two to put him straight. SACRED ACT made a winning debut in the maiden on this card 12 months ago but only managed one run after. He clearly has plenty of ability and can start making up for lost time.
