A two-miler to close things off and it can go to Key Time, but others to get good mentions are Dawn At Sea, Queen Of Iceni, Kiama, Arch Folly and, possibly, Art Class. Key Time could be the one here. He improved when stepped up in trip last time, finishing second to McEldowney. Up in trip again today, he could well have better to come and is fancied to go well. The same can be said of James Fanshawe's Dawn At Sea, who has shown plenty of promise in four starts and who could, on breeding, also appreciate today's trip. Queen Of Iceni is another who appreciated a step up in trip last time, running her best race to date and, in what is, overall, a fairly modest affair, must have a reasonable shout. Nobbler lacks gears but at least has earned his rating - and he is closely weighted with Beauchamp Trump based on recent form, while Kiama, who has been placed in four of her last five starts, can also be competitive stepping up to this trip, being out of a Bustino mare. Grasp improved in a first-time visor last time and could improve again, but will need to. Arch Folly ran well when fifth to Planet at Windsor, and would have a chance based on that effort. From the Gary Moore stable, the lightly-raced Art Class is one to monitor in the betting but, for the selection, we return to Key Time.
