Pistoletto has won seven times though is best on Polytrack but Pourquoi had shown ability before pulling up at Lingfield which wasn't her form. WAXING GIBBOUS has been racing over slightly further since her debut and only weakened in the closing stages at Ascot earlier this month and that could be good enough for this. Selenachorus completed a soft-ground double at Leicester and didn't stay 1m6f at Chester while Fen Tiger landed a heavy ground handicap on that track a year ago and has found the going too quick the last twice. Churchill Rose won over the course and distance in August, though that was on fast ground, but Das Kapital was engaged in the 1.25 at Windsor yesterday.
