Kipchak went in again at Folkestone last time but is hard to catch right. Bond Fastrac has slipped down the weights and will be winning off his current mark soon but CRUCIS ABBEY found only Dasho, who runs in the previous race, too good over track and trip last week and can go one better in this less competitive contest. This is tougher than the race Welcome Approach won at Bath on Wednesday and Elegant Muse looks to be treading water off her current mark. Last month's maiden winner Eshoog has been dropped 6lb having finished last at Epsom last week and should do better however.
