Thecornishbarron went close in an amateurs’ race over 1m2f last time and Solveig's Song was placed over the same distance at Brighton recently. Duke Of North won over a today’s trip at Brighton and is only 2lb higher but ZARIA scored over track and trip a fortnight ago with previous winner Uncle Dermot back in third. Richard Price’s mare gets the nod to go in again. Wordismybond won at Brighton in May and can race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account.
