Sarah Jayne-Davies has her small team firing on all cylinders and recent course and distance winner DRESDEN remains largely unexposed. He may be improving quickly enough to defy a 12lb higher mark. Bullet Street hasn't quite progressed as expected but may do better now tackling handicap company while Sandown scorer Walden Prince is still at the right end of the handicap. Flying Phoenix was out of her depth in a Listed race last time and should do better but Ludlow fourth Red Skipper appears to have too much weight.
