Kieren Fox has struck up a partnership with Black N Brew but ground conditions aren't likely to suit the four-year-old and similar concerns put us off Seasonal Cross, who needs fast ground to be seen at his best. There are no such concerns surrounding Effigy but he's yet to win off a mark this high and may be playing for places in a race taken to go to ADVERTISE. Andrew Balding's charge is up another 3lbs following a decent second at Bath but he might get away with it against these with conditions ideal. He's progressed well all year and may have more improvement in him, a comment that also applies to Towbaat whose second to I'm A Dreamer in the spring reads very well indeed. She arrives under a cloud however and with Patavium Prince better on quicker ground Oh So Saucy may be the chief threat to our pick after a good run at Yarmouth.
