None of these have encountered soft ground before but a chance is taken that QUICK BITE handles the surface. Her second on the Polytrack to subsequent Albany Stakes third Illaunglass is the best form on offer and she can take this if running anywhere near that level. There was cut in the ground when Bollin Tommy and Endangered Species made their debuts but both were well beaten and Pitti Sing has yet to figure in a couple of starts on a fast surface. The betting may give the best clue to newcomer Great Nicanor's chances.
Bollin Tommy 33-1 (9-3) Slowly away, always behind, 9th of 10, 14l behind Now My Sun (9-3) at Haydock 7f 2yo mdn (5) gs in Jul.
Endangered Species 66-1 (9-3) Slowly into stride, in rear and green, soon tailed off, last of 9, well behind Fresa (8-12) at Ayr 7f 2yo mdn (4) gs in Jul.

Pitti Sing 12-1 (9-0) Soon pushed along in rear, never on terms, 6th of 7, 14l behind Pussycat Dream (9-0) at Nottingham 6f 2yo stks (5) gf in Jul.
