John Oxx doesn't send many to these shores and rarely leaves empty-handed when he does so Flash McGahon is much respected, especially with Spencer in the plate. However, for all that he's well-handicapped and ran okay last time he's won just once from 38 starts and that was back in 2006. With that in mind we're keen to take him on and do so with ANNE OF KIEV. Jeremy Gask's mare has been in the first three on eight of her 12 starts on artificial surfaces and showed a liking for conditions with a comfortable victory last time. She's up just 4lbs for beating Quasi Congaree and is taken to confirm that form. Wallis is respected having gotten off the mark at Kempton but, while the third has won since, the second is an exposed maiden and the form is only modest.
