None stand out in a weak handicap but Guards Chapel has won over track and trip in the past and Southern States has bits of form off higher marks over today’s distance. Shan Dun Na Ngall hasn’t figured since scoring over course and distance over a year ago but both Kay Sera and What A Party have a shout if lasting home. THREEDIAMONDRINGS has a poor strike rate but wasn’t that far behind the winner when fifth over track and trip last month and Mark Usher’s charge should be thereabouts at the finish in this less competitive affair.
