Last year’s winner NEW HEIGHTS has scored here again subsequently. He’s also back on a winning mark and should have the measure of these returning to this venue. Mountain Queen finished in front of the selection on the all-weather last month while Gert Lush won over today’s trip at Goodwood last summer. Arenas Del Tiempo slides further down the weights and drops down in distance while Ae Fond Kiss will be sharper for last month’s comeback.
