Sir Michael Stoute won this last year and today's entry, I Zingari, is one to note on his debut as is Beautiful Romance, who has a fine middle-distance pedigree though Speedy Boarding could prove best of the newcomers as she's out of a mare who won over this trip as a two-year-old. Atab showed plenty of pace on her debut over 7f at Salisbury and will have come on for the run as will Munstead Pride for a promising run on the same track. ARCANO GOLD has taken his time to show his potential but soft ground and a stiffer test of stamina can enable him to lose his maiden tag after a staying-on effort over 7f at Newcastle.
