Multiculture has had a few chances but so has Rainfall Radar, who has now found one too good in five of her last six starts and is woefully one-paced. Shinghari is less exposed and has shown promise, but there may be a slight doubt about his stamina stepped up a couple of furlongs. We'll take a chance on the fitness of DALMATIA, who went close on several occasions for Sir Michael Stoute in 2014 and won a bumper last year before finishing third in a Grade 3 hurdle. She hasn't raced since August but has gone well fresh in the past.
