Eye Knee found Class 3 company on Polytrack too much to handle last time after a narrow defeat over this trip at Redcar. Whitcliffe and Witham River occupied the last two places in a four-runner race at Beverley and neither have proved they stay this far. VALLEY OF FLOWERS has her first start over this trip but wasn't stopping over 1m4f at Thirsk and should be suited. The lightly-raced Turner Girl finished last of five on Polytrack at Lingfield but showed potential on her previous run at Newmarket. Nietzsche has won four times on the Flat but is better known as a jumper these days.
