Rakata was all out to win at Windsor last time but a 2lb rise for that success is hardly harsh and Paul Cole's filly is taken to complete a hat-trick with Richard Hughes, who is a great judge of pace, back on board and score at the main expense of Saxon Lil and Chalentina. The last mentioned has run consistently well of late and Henry Cecil's filly can again be expected to be thereabouts but she may have to settle for a minor role. Barons Spy lost no caste in defeat at Warwick last time but a 2lb rise for that success looks harsh and of more interest may be recent Goodwood winner Todlea, although he has a 6lb penalty to carry for that win. Consonant is hard to win with and a bigger threat may come from Mark Johnston's Street Warrior, who is better than he showed at Southwell last time. Saxon Lil is in good form at present and is another to consider but Rakata has done nothing wrong of late and is taken to win again.
