Incendo won a claiming race over 1m4f here last time with the re-opposing ETHICS GIRL three lengths behind. But the latter has won over this longer distance before and can turn the tables on much better terms today. Sherman McCoy never figured in better company at York last time but has a shout on his second here last month and English Summer is weighted to go close if at his best on his return. The remainder are harder to fancy.
