Andaleep is penalised for winning an amateurs' race over a longer trip at Windsor while Zumurud has yet to race over this far. Bavardages looks high enough in the weights now having won three times so far this year but Dark Company has slipped down the handicap and finished closer at Carlisle last time. CAN CAN GIRL can be forgiven a below-par effort on soft going and is only 2lb higher than when scoring here back in April so David Brown’s filly gets the nod.
