MAIDEN APPROACH (NAP) won a better handicap than this at Wolverhampton before finding life tough in an All-Weather Championship race. Richard Fahey's filly gets the nod back in this lower grade. Gold Hunter returned from a lengthy absence with a decent effort at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and can race off the same mark while King Torus will find this easier than his latest task in the Spring Mile at Doncaster. Above The Rest showed progressive form last year and Lawyer has a shout on his third at Newmarket in September. Maiden winner Westwood Hoe debuts on Turf but has plenty of scope on his reappearance.
