This is no easier than the previous race with only 4lb covering a big field. Easy Terms is the obvious place to start as she arrives on the back of a hat-trick and may not have stopped improving yet. However, her price is likely to reflect the fact and the favourite has been beaten in the last nine runnings. Tenhoo also landed a hat-trick earlier this year but has gone up another 4lb despite being beaten at York last time, while Ravi River is 8lb higher than when winning an amateur race at the same track. Paul Hanagan prefers Ejteyaaz to Antigua Sunrise, while Rowan Tiger and Kathleen Frances have claims, but a chance is taken on the less exposed TWEEDLEDRUM. She didn't look too enamoured with the track when second at Chester last time, but had won her previous two starts in good style, and Andrew Balding's filly gets the vote to return to winning ways.
