Verdict
Avalanche is sure to appreciate the step up in distance and is improving with experience. The same can be said of Stirring Ballad after her latest fourth at Salisbury while Typography showed promise in a couple of runs at Newbury and Kempton in the autumn, though may just need this. ENGROSSING is a bit more exposed than most but this represents a drop in grade and a reproduction of his fourth to subsequent Royal Ascot winner Fennell Bay at Newmarket in May would probably suffice here. Neat Little Rows is in interesting newcomer but may struggle to get involved from stall two.
