The card's feature event and no surprise to see some powerful yard's represented. Motivado will be looking to make amends for failing to the land the odds at Musselburgh last month, while Ittirad was his own worst enemy at Ascot last time when failing to settle and finishing tailed off. Windsor maiden winner Kinyras may have the soft ground at Salisbury last time as his excuse for a seven length defeat, but MIDNIGHT OIL is still preferred. Luca Cumani's charge ran out the easy winner of his maiden when sent off a well backed favourite at Leicester last month and it would be no surprise if he turned out to be ahead of the handicapper. C&D winner Lady Amakhala could prove best of the remainder.
