Silk Cravat is 0-28 on Turf but has won three times around here and from higher marks. He's never won over this far but was only just over a length behind Chagall here a couple of weeks ago and there's little between them here. Scherzando has never won or raced on the surface and he's been a beaten favourite the last three times. However, his overall form puts him in the frame for this though another maiden, IRISH AMBASSADOR, could prove difficult to beat. Sarah Lynam's charge looked a likely future winner when placed twice here earlier this year and ran an excellent race on his reappearance on the track a fortnight ago. KInch could prove best of the remainder despite being drawn on the outside.
