Verdict
Cyflymder has won four times here and got back to winning ways on Turf at Musselburgh 10 days ago. He's only 2lb higher so has to go on the short-list along with another course specialist, Saskia's Dream. Khelfan has hinted at ability and is back in the right grade while the three-year-old Beau Sparkle responded to blinkers at Newcastle and has the headgear on again here. WELSH INLET was beaten less than a length over 1m here last time and is 6lb lower than her last winning mark. She could be the one to beat today.
