In depth
Verdict
Surewecan is 0-9 on the all-weather but has been in great form on fast going on Turf recently and has to go on the short-list. Straits Of Malacca has been knocking on the door but is possibly better over 6f. Lyfka won at Brighton on her reappearance and has form at a higher level. Childesplay found a mile too far at Newbury and couldn't be ruled out but can ACCLIO can defy a 4lb rise in the weights and record a second victory over track and trip this year with the booking of Luke Morris a plus.
