An open handicap in which the progressive CROSS MY MIND is the selection. The Beckett filly got off the mark at the sixth time of asking when scoring at Windsor in a fashion suggesting this additional distance will prove favourable. She runs off a fair mark of 68 and further progression is expected now she's got her head in front. She is certainly improving with time and experience. Outofthequestion also notched a first success last time and the consistent King four-year-old should be present at the business end off a 3lb higher mark. He battled on we to oblige here last time and rates a reliable type. Casemates Square is on a fair mark too and is likely to make this quite a severe stamina test as he stays much further. He merits respect alongside the hat-trick seeking Seinesational.
