Krisnando is marginally preferred to Trenchant in a trappy finale. Dancing Sword and Classical Rhythm have both run well here at this trip but there are several runners here from respected yards who may well improve on the form that they have shown to date as they step up in trip on their move into the handicap ranks. El Duende has already made his handicap debut but should have more to offer back on grass whilst Red Merlin, Everybody Knows and Media Stars would be of interest if the market emits the right vibes. Trenchant has been modestly progressive in maidens, is bred to be a good deal better than this and must be feared but the yard has been finding winners hard to come by of late. Therefore, preference is for Gary Moore's filly following her decent run at Salisbury where she wasn't beaten far despite having reared at the start. Bath may not have played to her strengths prior to that but she should have no such problems on this track and the form of that latest run gives Krisnando every chance of opening her account tonight.
