Breeding suggests BOLD CUFFS will appreciate this extra furlong having stayed on well for second over 6f here on his debut. He had Availed Speaker well back in fourth and Sir Mark Prescott's charge is likely to be a popular choice to open his account. Kieren Fallon is back in action and picks up the ride on Dark Falcon, who has shown promise in both starts on the Polytrack, while Ishiamiracle returns to maiden company after going very close in a handicap over 7f at this track recently. Irish import Perla Du Ma could prove best of the rest.
