Verdict
Olynard last won off this sort of mark but has been disappointing recently and would need to rediscover the winning formula. Barons Spy will appreciate the trip and ground although he has more to find, but Street Power who has a decent strike rate is more of a fan of the all-weather. Tellelle likes cut in the ground but the trainer wouldn't send her from Ireland without a chance and market support would reinforce the strength of her claims. Drawnfromthepast won the Windsor Castle Stakes as a juvenile and although not matching those heights since, he is looking for a hat-trick and has to be respected. However, he is at the top of the weights and his recent wins have come over a furlong less. We Have A Dream hasn't won since this time last year but could challenge our selection, KUANYAO. It has paid to side with Peter Makin's gelding who has remained unbeaten for more than a year. Although he races off a career high, he was in command when winning last time and looks the most feasible option in this race.
