Most of these reserve their best for the all-weather so the market may prove a useful guide. Rigolleto has a course and distance victory to his credit and will lack nothing in fitness, though may be hampered by a high draw. Foxtrot Jubilee and Sole Danser will also start out wide but the latter's stablemate, Temple Road, will have no excuses from stall three and was an impressive winner at Lingfield last month. Apricot Sky probably has more scope than these but may just need this. CLUBLAND is only a pound higher than his last winning mark and showed a lot more back on Turf at Thirsk 12 days ago. He gets the nod ahead of the speedy Kuanyao and Time Medicean as Commanche only ran three days ago.
