Kommander Kirkup finished runner-up in one of these events here last time and has the beating of Catapult on that form. But the three-year-olds have every chance on these terms if handling the surface with STAR ACT, a close-up fourth at Lingfield earlier, preferred to Wolverhampton third Love Baileys and getting a speculative vote. Daddies Diva will be sharper for a recent outing over 7f here and First Excel has won at the track in the distant past.
