Desert Ace had Bondi Beach Boy back in third when winning at Ripon last week but carries a penalty. Astrophysics is upped in class after scoring at Beverley while May Rose failed in a bid for a hat-trick off today’s mark at Windsor last time and Sandra's Secret was well beaten at Doncaster having won at Beverley earlier. Rich Again could be in the mix but APPLEBERRY was winning off a 9lb higher mark last year and she gets a purely speculative vote to bounce back in this.
