This looks wide-open, though One Big Surprise is in form having got off the mark at Lingfield earlier this month - she's improved for the switch to Turf. Gilmer finally got off the mark at Chepstow last week but may struggle again here off a 6lb higher mark. New Rich is best on Polytrack and has never won on this surface but Secret Look beat Foxford and BABYFACT at Windsor last month before a below-par effort at Chepstow. Mark Saunders' mare should now be cherry-ripe after a couple of runs and is only a pound higher than when last successful – she might be a bit of value with George Baker doing the steering.
