RARE TERN is impossible to oppose under a 5lb rise in the weights. Sir Mark Prescott's filly always looked in command when scoring here last month as a short-priced favourite and she could still have a stone in hand of the handicapper. Bin Shamardal is no back number but he has a little to prove here despite a falling mark, and a bigger threat might be Dutiful who could never get competitive over seven furlongs here last month. He holds Plutocraft on their Brighton run, whilst Blue Lyric is back down to her last winning mark and is considered accordingly. Ajool should appreciate a return to better ground and is rated more of a threat than the woefully out of form Tell Halaf.
