C'Est No Mour won at Salisbury recently having earlier finished behind third-placed BURIRAM over course and distance. The latter faces an easier task today and should go close with a similar effort. Bombero won over track and trip before struggling over further at Haydock while Golden Wolf and Grinling were both successful over 1m2f last time with the latter scoring here. Queen Of The Sea has placed in all three starts so far and the Godolphin filly is another to consider upped in trip for her handicap debut.
