Verdict
Treacle Tart had Admirable Duque behind when scoring over C&D earlier this month, beating Jezza by a nose. A line through the latter suggests she'll do well to get the better of Ethics Girl, who has also won over C&D recently. Kavaloti's best form as been at Kempton and he's returning from a lengthy absence while Taikoo has recorded both his all-weather victories at Southwell. Preference is for EXEMPLARY, who looks likely to make a bold bid from the front here. He won over 1m4f on turf early last year and is expected to improve for this longer trip.
