Verdict
Curtain Call has disappointed over 6f since making a winning debut over this trip at Nottingham. Modest has picked up a penalty for winning at Catterick while Mininggold is 4lb higher than when scoring at the same track last month, though still preferred to stablemate Rose Éclair. Brighton winner Pinky Promise drops to the minimum for the first time and may not have the speed to cope with HARMONIC WAVE, who quickened nicely off a fast pace to score at Musselburgh and won't be far away if handling the easier surface. Addicted To Luck is consistent but thoroughly exposed.
