Verdict
RIKNNAH finished a close-up fourth over a mile here last month having ran out of steam inside the final furlong. The second has subsequently gone in and this shorter trip will suit. Sunrise Valley also drops down in distance having finished runner-up at Yarmouth while Appellation and Danni California could get involved with normal progress. Cambridgeshire is related to several winners including the Group 1 winner Dick Whittington and is preferred to Miss Calacatta of the newcomers.
