All of these have something to prove over today's distance. 1m2f winner Siren's Cove has been well beaten in a couple of subsequent starts over 1m4f including at Doncaster last time when Nomenklatura and Captain Koko also finished down the field. A chance is taken that BOLD APPEAL proves better suited to the trip on the back of a comeback run over 1m2f at Goodwood where she finished fourth. Wolverhampton winner Duc Of Seville and Knight Music were both well beaten over 1m3f at Kempton last time.
