Sauze d'Aulx, Maracana Boy and Secret Meaning are the three to take against the field here, with Sauze d'Aulx taken to defy top weight. Maracana Boy has improved with each of his three runs and he should be in the shake up here, although he has appeared a little one paced, he is receiving weight from his main rival and can go well. Secret Meaning has been campaigned in sellers with the exception of her debut, but has done well, winning last time. She handles cut in the ground but may just lack the quality needed here. Sauze d'Oulx lost his maiden tag at Windsor and has been running well in decent company since. He was fourth of five last time at Bath and a reproduction of that run would be good enough here. His ability to handle the ground has to be taken on trust, but Sauze d'Aulx looks good enough here.
