Bianca De Medici looks fairly treated ahead of her handicap bow and can get involved but she may need to improve a little if she's to open her account. Marosh has each-way claims but is not the easiest to produce at the right time so a chance is taken with the in-form KEY BREEZE. She has done her recent winning over distances in excess of this trip so there has to be a worry that the line will come too soon but she looks to be ahead of the game and may get away with it. Posy Fossil shaped with a little more promise last time and is worth keeping an eye on whilst it will be interesting to see how Tiger Star gets on given that he's often attracted money over longer distances since being sent handicapping. Ice Cool Lady ran well last time whilst there may be more to come from Bill's Story, Mad Millie and Norville.
