Though both victories to date have come over longer trips, Rue De La Gaite is an interesting runner in this having only her second start for Tom Clover. Gloweth made a winning reappearance at Chepstow but that was only a Class 6. Picture Frame goes beyond 7f for the first time but should be suited and fitness is rarely an issue for one from her yard. Roca Magica has won her last two but will have to defy another career-high mark to complete the hat-trick. AMBER STORM looked a nice prospect when storming clear at Musselburgh. The form hasn’t been franked but an opening mark of 78 could still be lenient.
