NOTATION has recorded both wins on the all-weather so far over course and distance. She has a 10lb hike in the weights to contend with but even that may not be enough to anchor her in this given the ease of her latest success. An import from France, Chipiron made a promising start for new connections when third over 2m at Wolverhampton but this shorter trip is not certain to suit and Arabian King is preferred back on this surface having rattled-up a hat-trick here at this time last year. Mukha Magic has form here and makes more appeal than Summeronsevenhills of the remainder.
