William Haggas sent out the last winner of this but Sea La Rosa drops down in trip having been narrowly beaten over 1m4f at Doncaster on her handicap debut. Forza Orta goes handicapping for the first time having found one too good in all outings so far but the unbeaten BASHOSH makes most appeal. He also makes his handicap debut after defying a penalty to win at Doncaster and this extra distance will suit the full-brother to former stablemate and Group 1 winner Nezwaah.
