Denison Flyer is a course and distance winner and he's actually lower in the weights than when successful last June though he's best on quicker ground than he'll encounter here. Green To Gold has been in very good form over fences and has to be on the short-list while it's about time Looks Like Rain was winning on Turf and this looks her chance though she's better on Polytrack and today's going may be on the soft side for her. RED TYKE is only moderate but has managed to win five of his 18 career starts. He stays the trip well and is still on a low enough mark to gain victory number six. Dubara Reef and Medieval Bishop fought out a finish at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and there should be little between them again.
