Purcell's Bridge won at Carlisle last month while Daasij has won twice over 3m1f at Ayr this season, though is taking on slightly better opposition now. Talkin Sence isn't without a chance while Dawn Commander was third in decent company at ascot earlier this month, but only just ahead of fifth ARKOSE. The pair meet on identical terms here but we fancy Oliver Sherwood's charge to come out on top over this longer trip as he's already won twice over 3m2f and Thomas Garner can still claim 3lb. Kris Cross looks the pick of Lucinda Russell's two entries but has been hard to predict recently.
