Five of this field have won over the course and distance, including Flash City, who won this a year ago and is just 3lb higher despite continuing to run well. Space Artist, who beat Flash City here last summer, is much better off at the weights but hasn't been in such good form. Pea Shooter beat Flash City a short-head here in June but the latter should take his revenge at the revised weights. Percy's Gal has never run over a trip this short in her 21 starts but Go Go Green bounced back to form here last month and can be given a chance and is preferred to Imperial Legend, who hasn't won for a very long time. ECONOMIC CRISIS has been racing in better company and is back on the same mark as when last successful. He wouldn't want the ground too quick but looks well enough treated to give a good account of himself so gets the nod.
