Course specialist Kiwi Bay has won this twice before but has come up short in the last couple of renewals. SOUND ADVICE (NAP) beat the latter at Ayr in July and was only beaten a short-head in this last year with Hakuna Matata back in third. This is easier than his recent tasks so Keith Dalgleish's charge gets the vote. Knight Owl, Karaka Jack and Dual Mac all won qualifying events for this on their latest starts and should go well while Anderiego beat Barren Brook and Almuheet at Ayr recently and is only upped 5lb. Last week's Haydock winner No Poppy is holding her form but has a bit to find with Dual Mac on earlier running.
