Most of these enter the fray in good form though Cianciana is the only course winner and showed her liking for the surface when scoring at Newcastle last month. Sanitiser carries a penalty for last week's Windsor success, where he went clear in the final stages of that 1m2f handicap, while Wootton'Sun also carries extra for making all over this trip at the same fixture. Haunted Dream, runner-up in the latter event, should get closer on the revised terms while Tequilamockingbird has only had six starts and has won the last two on Polytrack though she's never raced on this surface. TIDAL STORM is another having a first look at Tapeta but he looked progressive at Kempton and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent a double.
