It was soft ground when LEVITATE won last year's renewal off a higher mark. John Quinn's charge posted his best effort of the season when fourth in better company at Ascot last time and should make another bold bid. Lulu The Zulu is another to consider having beaten higher rated rivals in a conditions event over track and trip a fortnight ago. She's preferred to recent course winner Jamaican Bolt, who has yet to win over further than 6f. Dream Walker and Accession would prefer a faster surface but Withernsea should cope on the evidence of his recent victory over course and distance. Athletic and Sirius Prospect are others with a shout.
