There's not much between this bunch at the weights but PRIME EXHIBIT has the best recent form. He won a handicap over track and trip last time and can go in again with a similar effort. Arabian Flight should go well in this company, despite a recent below-par effort at Southwell, and Cantor had been threatening to get his head in front at this track before a poor run on the Fibresand. Misleading Promise made the frame in a seller last time and Costa Del Fortune has the past form to figure, though she did finish tailed-off on her first start since 2011.
