It was soft ground when Alexandrakollontai scored over 6f at Ayr last week. He should go well again under a penalty though TRUE PLEASURE could prove a safer bet over today's trip. The latter went close in a higher grade race over a mile last time and also makes more appeal than the other recent 6f winners Mercers Row and Lees Anthem. Orwellian has a bit to find with the latter on latest running while the likes of Polish World and Broctune Papa Gio have yet to win in soft ground.
