Cartago will be well supported despite a penalty for last week's Windsor nursery success though this looks a tougher heat. Edification's victory at Salisbury has been given a boost while Walsingham Grange ran a fine race behind the odds-on Anabel at Beverley and with the winner now rated 79 he may have got in here lightly. Mark Johnston trains Anabel and Mistymoistymorning has to be considered despite a poor run at Newmarket but Summer Icon appeared not to stay over Sandown's stiff 7f last time. RECOGNITION is related to numerous winners and has improved with each run. She just failed to last out an extended mile on soft ground at Epsom and looks to be well enough treated on her nursery debut to land this for Roger Varian.
