Not So Bright is a consistent sort and tackles selling company for the first time. He's had 18 starts without getting his head in front but is certainly one of the more likely winners of this. Back For Tea is flattered by recent form figures while Fawley Green has failed to beat a horse home in his last three starts and Penderyn was well beaten in this grade last year. SONG TO THE MOON won on fast ground at Windsor last season and was taking on much stronger opposition in subsequent runs. Her only previous try at this trip was inconclusive but she should be all the better for her reappearance at Doncaster and Frankie Dettori can nurse her home in front here.
