Dishy Guru landed this in 2014 but has won just the once since then. Go Nani Go went close at Sandown last week but wouldn’t want any rain and the same comment applies to Costa Filey, a runner-up at Chelmsford recently and sporting first-time cheekpieces today. STORMFLOWER won on the all-weather in June but was not far behind the winner when fifth over track and trip last time and John Bridger’s filly should go close off a slightly lower mark in this. Equijade is unexposed and Taajub drops in class as he slips further down the weights.
