Kyle Of Bute just held on for victory over a shorter trip here last time and more is needed off a higher mark today, while Artisan and Duquesa have placed form on turf that entitles them to consideration. Knowe Head posted a better effort at this track last time and Nicholas Pocock's only win came over the extended mile here, but RIDE THE WIND is preferred. She was well backed on her latest start over C&D and went very close to rewarding her supporters when only beaten a short-head. Chris Wall's filly can go one better today.
