There is some decent prize money on offer in this and it's attracted a strong line-up. Stellarta has held her form well this summer and arrives off the back of another solid performance at Goodwood. Clear Spring and Rio Ronaldo can get involved, despite big weights, as both are previous course and distance winners. Northern raider Foxtrot Knight was a bit unlucky at Ripon last time and is knocking on the door again. Rosie's Premiere should do better back over 6f and is another to consider but this looks a big ask for Pretty Bubbles upped in class and 7lb higher than when scoring here three weeks ago. GORING beat Free Zone over track and trip two weeks ago, relishing the drop back down in trip. He's been raised 4lb but the likely fast pace should play to his strengths and a follow up may be on the cards.
