Instant Attraction normally races up with the pace but will need to make a mad dash from a wide draw to take up a good position. Balducci made all to win here in June but is also drawn high along with the front-running Spiriting and Character Onesie, though that's not a problem for the latter as he was slowly away when winning here last month. SOUND ADVICE is drawn on the inside and should make a bold bid having gone close at Ayr last time. He is preferred to Dubai Dynamo, who is 7lb higher than when scoring at Ripon earlier. Gabrial The Tiger ran well over 6f here recently and Clockmaker tends to save his best for this track.
