Danni California is the only course and distance winner having stayed on to lead close home on fast ground a fortnight ago for which she's up 5lb. Blow Your Horn, having his first start for new connections, is 4lb better for a length while TOMMASO didn't quite get the run of the race and was close up in fourth. The latter gets the nod despite being 3lb out of the handicap though his yard is also represented by the hat-trick seeking Red Force One, who has thrived since racing on fast ground. Geremia has gained all three victories on the all-weather though stays the trip but Fox Vardy is having his first start over the distance.
