George Baker is an interesting booking aboard well-handicapped soft ground winner Nizhoni Dancer but she's got to prove her stamina while Belle Boleyn could improve for the softer ground but certainly needs to. Sancho Panza caused a huge surprise at Windsor but he's unexposed and could go on now particularly as the ground suits but our vote goes to Karky Schultz. The grey is only 2lbs higher than when winning last time he ran on the flat and unlike some of these has no questions to answer with regards ground nor trip. Jinto should have no problem with either but he's been bumped up 6lbs for winning an ordinary contest last time and that seems harsh while Outland has an inexperienced rider aboard and needs forgiving a few below-par efforts, including when behind Aalya at Epsom with the latter taken to confirm that form.
