Narjes looked unlucky when beaten on the Turf course at Lingfield 10 days ago but all of her form is on sharp tracks. SIMOON (NAP) did well to win over a mile at Chelmsford as this is his trip. He’s only 2lb higher back on Turf and a double may be on the cards. Kenstone ran well for a long way on his return to action at Nottingham but Escape The City and Balmoral Castle are returning from a break. Unit of Assessment can’t be ignored but Moxy Mares, Petrastar and Sir Plato have something to prove now.
