Always Resolute won this in 2015 and Intense Tango won over track and trip a little over a year ago off a 10lb higher mark, though hasn’t fired so far this season. The three-year-olds Hawridge Flyer and Fulham have only won maidens so far but remain unexposed and could figure. Incus has already won three times this year, though not ion this grade, and Astute Boy may be improving but HIGH ON LIGHT is probably worth sticking with. David Barron’s filly is straightforward and appeared to have a bit in hand when beating Takbeer over track and trip last month so can confirm that form, despite re-opposing on worse terms.
