Chifa is an obvious candidate as his last three successes, two this term, have been delivered here and he should relish the return to this surface after four runs on Turf. He still looks on a fair mark, as does Touchwood, who has suggested the last twice that a win could well be nigh. His latest effort at Southwell was certainly good enough to give him every chance here. Beauzon is an all-weather specialist and has a first run for a new yard after an absence of over 200 days. The betting may help to guide as to how ready he is for this return to action. Surprise Picture is respected but FROM BEYOND is an interesting type who is lightly-raced and could well have more to come. She runs here off an attractive mark, has first-time headgear and Oisin Murphy is booked.
