Catch The Wind looks to have enough up her sleeve to take this handicap, with Treasure Cay and Ivory Lace to main dangers. The selection is in fine form at present, having taken advantage of a drop in the weights to land a Bath handicap and then finish second in classified company at Nottingham last time. With ground conditions to suit and the red hot Seb Sanders booked for the mount, she looks capable of finding what is required to take this prize. Treasure Cay has champion Kieren Fallon booked as his partner and has also been going very well recently. Third here to Royal Challenge in similar company on his penultimate start, he bettered that form when runner-up at Goodwood last time out and he looks sure to go close again. Of the remainder Ivory Lace makes appeal having won five of her last seven starts but Steve Woodman's filly has now gone up 22lb and may find that run coming to an end here. Nevertheless she is respected, but we fancy Catch The Wind to sail away with it.
