A few of these will be earning their corn on the all-weather in the coming months. Recent course and distance second Tinshu is one and Tight Lipped probably another. Specialty won at Yarmouth and Newmarket before coming up short in her hat-trick bid last time but looks high enough in the weights now and War Singer only won by a neck here last month and is 4lb higher now. Both of GO SAKHEE's victories have come over this trip on good ground and he never looked in any danger at Ripon last time. He has another 7lb to shoulder here but may be up to the task as he's well drawn for one who likes to race up with the pace. Charlie Wells may be best of the rest.
