Most of these look to have a decent claim in a wide-open affair although the likes of Time Square, Geeaitch and Candyman Can are required to translate recent all-weather ability to Turf. Other possibles may well need the run unlike ROSIE REBEL, who should harbour no such fitness concerns after a pleasing Newcastle reappearance last month, her first outing in over five months. She's only faced the starter on nine occasions and Rae Guest, a dab hand with fillies, is likely to eke out further improvement this term. Modem looks a likely threat as he enjoyed a good winter on the all-weather and was fourth behind Civil War at Windsor last time.
