Pushkin Museum has been winning lower grade sprints and recent runner-up Commanche is also upped in class. Head Space is usually thereabouts without winning while the unexposed Tadaawol sports headgear for the time on his first start since December. Berlios has been running well at Southwell and Doeadeer was placed over track and trip in between modest efforts over 7f. But EBONY N IVORY gets the nod on his earlier third here to Dream Farr given the latter and the fourth-placed horse have both won subsequently.
