Rigolleto arrives on the back of a couple of placed efforts in amateur events, while, having previously slipped down the weights, Ace Master has gone back up 5lb for finishing second last time. His chance may have gone but Sakhee's Rose can race off the same mark as when landing a nursery last season and she can figure along with Planetex. Dark Rose is usually thereabouts at this level but a tentative vote goes to SEE THE STORM as he's already won a couple of times this year including over 7f at this track.
