Namir has won 11 times on turf but never on the all-weather in 27 starts. He's on a very fair mark as a consequence and ran very well here last time. Yungaburra isn't the most consistent of performers but did everything right here last time when MOSA MINE and Rightcar weren't far behind. Bryn Palling's charge is 2lb better off and, as she was having her first start since February, should come on enough to gain revenge and take this. Novabridge ran very well here last time, only his second start on the surface, but the biggest threat should emerge from Grand Stitch, who has gradually dropped to a very reasonable mark and wasn't far behind Perlachy here last month. Inde Country ran well at Nottingham last time but is better handicapped on turf.
