All of these have been racing over the winter apart from Rose Fandango and she's best on fast ground. Luna Queen's two career victories have been over a mile and 7f on Polytrack at Lingfield but PHOENIX STAR's last success came on heavy ground at Sandown in September so more rain would aid his cause and he's on a lower mark here. Astrophysics will be having his 90th start and is aiming for a 10th career success so isn't out of this but Yimou is on a very long losing run and all of his four victories, including here, have been on fast going.
