PIXILATED deserves a change of luck and, though raised 2lb since finishing second at Goodwood, Robert Tart takes off 5lb here which may be enough for Gaye Kelleway's gelding to double his tally over course and distance. Hand In Glove looks the pick of Robert Cowell's pair, despite a poor run on his latest start on the Polytrack, but a bigger danger may be Balatina even though she looks held by the selection on a line through Warwick winner Shirley's Pride. Modern Lady gets no respite from the handicapper and has yet to manage a place on Turf.
