Twistsandturns is a very consistent performer over a mile but has never been placed over this trip though he generally shows good pace. Strategic Heights has won five times around here, all over the minimum trip, while Full Shilling ran poorly here last winter though has been in much better form on Turf during the summer and Dylan Hogan's claim is a bonus. Cresendo got no sort of run here last time or would have finished much closer though that was over a mile and whether he has the pace for this is another matter. Captain Midnight's two victories on the track have been over 7f so this can go to the 2014 winner TIMES IN ANATEFKA. She hasn't won for some time but was having her first start since April when a close fourth over the minimum three weeks ago and is 6lb lower than when narrowly beaten over the track and trip in March.
