Art Dzeko got off the mark over 7f at Catterick last time and will be thereabouts if handling the surface while Celestial Dawn is not without a chance on her third in a C&D maiden last month. However, TRAVIS COUNTY was noted making late headway before fading quickly over a mile at this track a fortnight ago and he gets a tentative vote as his best form over today's trip on Turf last year is good enough to land this. Beau Mistral makes most appeal of the remainder after a better effort in soft ground at Haydock on her latest outing.
