SUNBALA looks to have a good opportunity to open her account. She was still beaten five lengths when runner-up at Goodwood last time but this looks less competitive. Ikhtisas makes more appeal than stablemate National Poet on last year's second at Salisbury but Gamble was well beaten despite finishing third on her reappearance at Redcar. Perfect Spell gets a 7lb claimer on board to help his cause but Bushel is preferred after a debut third at Chester. Cosmic Curious could be a newcomer to note, especially if attracting any support in the betting.
