Verdict
Burning Thread is eased in grade and Elusivity could also be interesting given he was second over course and distance in April off a higher mark, though has been well beaten in two starts since. LADY KYLLAR goes well here and has been generally progressive this year. George Margarson's filly can get the better of older rivals including recent winners Royal Brave and Storm Lightning. Flying Bear is better on the all-weather, as is Pour La Victoire, but Gold Flash still has time on his side and is worth a try over this shorter trip.
