Nothing comes into this in better form than the progressive 3yo filly Lunanova who has been in such fine form at Brighton lately, but she needs to prove she can handle this very different track.

Ravishing Beauty (second choice) is another who comes into this in good heart, while the veteran Poet's Dawn and Runninsonofagun complete the shortlist.[David Bellingham]
