With the majority of these struggling for form, Strait Of Magellan has to come into the reckoning. But a 5lb rise does him no favours on the back of a string of seconds and a speculative vote goes to the less exposed SKYWARDS MILES. Tim Fitzgerald's filly would have finished closer than third at Wolverhampton if not suffering from interference and can go close on her handicap debut. Di's Gift scored over 2m here earlier but has not figured off higher marks since and Cloud Monkey has found life tough since dead-heating for first at Doncaster in June.
