DISCREET HERO ran well despite finishing only sixth in a higher grade at Goodwood last time. He won over the minimum trip at York earlier this year and should be in the mix in this company. Princess Tansy arrives in good form having placed either side of winning at Newmarket while Jaywalker has also placed on his last couple of outings. Apricot Sky has been thereabouts on more than one occasion since winning off a 7lb lower mark over track and trip in June and Love Island won over 6f here on her penultimate start. Midnight Malibu looks high enough in the weights now but Seve and Foxy Forever continue to slide down the handicap and could bounce back at any time.
