Safari Guide likes it here but STORM HAWK is the one to beat on recent efforts, while Dichoh and Miss Bounty are both reliable enough for the grade. Pat Eddery's charge responded well to the reapplication of a visor at Windsor and was only narrowly held over a mile there. Dropping back to seven shouldn't be a problem as he's got form over this trip and in the context of this affair he's lightly-raced, so we're quite hopeful he can find that bit extra required to score. Safari Guide coped well with the drop back to six furlongs last time and that confirmed his liking for this track. Just over a year ago he was beaten by a nose over course and distance and he's now rated 11lbs lower, so everything looks in place for a big run. Dichoh is rightly better known for all-weather exploits but he's consistent and is now only a couple of pounds higher than when last successful on turf back in September 2009. Eddie Ahern has ridden the horse before with some success and he's another with claims, alongside Miss Bounty. George Baker's charge is interesting on only her second start for the yard having attracted support at Windsor when behind Storm Hawk. She's placed over this trip in Germany and clearly acts on the ground so it'll be interesting to see if support arrives once more. Lend A Grand isn't handicapped out of things but will surely improve for his first run in 425 days so a bigger threat could be Crystallize, who should appreciate this return to turf, but our idea of the winner remains Storm Hawk.
