There was plenty to like about the way Face The Storm nipped up the rail to win over course and distance last time, and with that experience under her belt the Barathea filly should be good enough to score again, despite her welter weight. Robert Sangster's charge gets the TEAMtalk vote. Dubai Dream could be the one to chase her home. Raised 2lb for winning a course and distance seller here last time, the gelding is nothing special, but looks capable of going very close again off his present mark. Agilis is another to have won last time out, when stepped up to seven furlongs here at Lingfield. That was a claimer, and he has more on his plate here, but an extra furlong is likely to suit and he should again go well. Of the remainder, Call Me Sunshine has been given a chance after a 6lb drop (and an extra 5lb to be claimed by her jockey) and if she handles the surface at the first time of asking she must have every chance. Touch Of Gold has also had a significant drop (7lb) in the weights, but has plenty still to prove over a much further trip than he has been tried over before, while top weight Golden Heart cannot be ruled out if she can translate some of her earlier turf form to the all weather.
