Stuart Kittow has a good strike-rate here and has booked Silvestre De Sousa for his Chelmsford winner Dora's Field but MYSTIC MEG hasn’t been beaten far the last twice over this trip and may be poised to get her head back in front if the going doesn’t deteriorate. The maiden Imperial Choice is gradually getting there and has solid each-way claims along with Pivotal Flame and Arendelle. Fanfair is eased in grade but Sunshineandbubbles will be counting down the days until she can get back on her beloved Tapeta.
