Saeed Bin Suroor bids to land a hat-trick of victories in this but Global Force will need to step up on her latest effort on the Rowley course here in May to figure. Resonant scored in good style over track and trip at the July meeting but has been upped 11lb so the vote goes to PACIFY. The latter finished runner-up at Sandown a fortnight ago and an apprentice's 7lb claim could make the difference in this. Dark Wave won at Doncaster back in March but hasn't raced since April when he was beaten off today's higher mark.
Resonant (IRE) 12-1 (8-8) Made all, clear with one other 8f out, ridden and ran on strongly final furlong, won at Newmarket 1m 2f hcp (2) gf in Jul beating Gibeon (9-2) by 3 3/4l, 10 ran.
Pacify 5-2fav (9-7) Chased winner throughout, pushed along 2f out, ridden and no impression over 1f out, kept on for clear 2nd, 2nd of 7, 3 1/4l behind Chain Of Daisies (9-4) at Sandown 1m 2f hcp (4) gf in Jul.
Global Force (IRE) 3-1fav (9-6) Tracked leader until ridden over 2f out, weakened approaching final furlong, 6th of 7, 8 3/4l behind Marma's Boy (8-5) at Newmarket 1m 2f hcp (3) gf in May.
Dark Wave 9-4fav (9-4) Tracked leaders, outpaced 3f out, soon ridden, kept on inside final furlong, 4th of 5, 8 1/4l behind Mercy Me (8-2) at Leicester 1m 4f hcp (3) gf in Apr.
