It was soft ground when AUTHORITARIAN won at Bath on her latest start. A 6lb penalty is negated by an apprentice's allowance and Richard Hannon's filly can go in again. Frozen Over also arrives in fine form and handles the going but Uncle Dermot is now 9lb higher than his win at Salisbury at the start of the month. Heezararity went close over C&D when just failing to catch Valley Queen a week ago and has decent claims but this is tougher than the race Saint Irene won at Brighton recently when Salient finished a well beaten fifth.
