Big Creek has become expensive to follow and Aldwick Bay is still high enough in the weights while Nave is best watched on his reappearance. Looking On should find a race soon, however, while Copper Canyon has enjoyed a successful campaign on the all-weather. Uphold can't be ruled out, despite top weight, but course specialist KEN'S GIRL should be hard to beat if fully wound-up. She beat Chain Of Events over C&D off a 2lb higher mark on her reappearance in June last year and has the ground in her favour again. Epsom Salts may need a bit further but is probably the pick of the remainder.
