First Of May won a lowly Class 5 sprint here last time while Cuban Breeze also steps up in class having scored at Chelmsford recently. Shades Of Summer has done all her winning at the latter track so far but ARAMIS GREY (NAP) has a good all-round strike-rate on the all-weather. The latter has placed in tougher contests than this on her last three outings now and this looks a good opportunity for Rae Guest’s mare to get her head back in front.
