AMALFI BAY completed an Epsom double over the trip in July and has been racing over further. He's never raced on the surface but looks the one to beat. Rushmore has changed stables since landing a Class 4 handicap at Goodwood in June and is only 2lb higher while Sunset Memory came good over 1m2f at Sandown and though making her all-weather debut can continue on the upgrade. Zhang Fei is 0-12 but has performed well the last twice while Crystal Starlet, a daughter of Frankel, could do with a victory for the paddocks.
