Any one of these seven could take this but THE BLUE BANANA looked a progressive type when landing the odds at Chepstow on ground with some give and may have got in here lightly. Pink Sapphire easily won a Salisbury maiden but has subsequently finished last in a Group 2 and a Listed contest. She'll find this more to her liking while Bomber Jet was always travelling well at Ayr and is very much on the upgrade. It was soft going when Mister Musicmaster landed a nursery at Sandown but an 8lb rise makes this tougher.
