CARAMELITA swept past the placed horses Heartsong and Dancing Freddy in the closing stages to score over track and trip a week ago. The latter pair re-oppose on better terms but the top weight has won off a higher mark in the past, despite today's penalty, and gets the vote to confirm running. Pearl Noir and Fathom Five finished practically upsides when well behind Masai Moon here last week and are hard to fancy on that form. Lucky Mark has made the frame on this surface before but has done all his winning on the Polytrack so far while course and distance winner Upper Lambourn remains badly out of sorts.
