Sunblazer has a solid all-weather record and won at Newmarket last time – the grey has to go on the short-list here. Cliff Face and Vogueatti would both enter calculations on their best form but ENTANGLING arrives in excellent form having dead-heated at Leicester after winning at Yarmouth only to get demoted by the stewards. He’s preferred to Snowy Winter, who has won three of her last four on the all-weather but has gone up another 4lb for narrowly winning an amateurs’ event last time. Isaac Bell has taken well to the track so can’t be ignored and Yamarhaba Malayeen is another with claims.
