Auspicion was winning at this venue for the third time this year when successful over track and trip last time. Excel Again has won a couple of times here this year but a 6lb rise proved beyond him last time while Fayez won at Wolverhampton last month and winning partner Shelley Birkett is back on board today. Rashford's Double has won here before and has been thereabouts of late but DUBAI ELEGANCE (NAP) is one of the least exposed and she gets the vote on only her third start of the year after finishing a close-up fourth at Kempton.
