Cape Factor is ideally drawn and is the only one of these in recent winning form though his two victories were on Polytrack and he didn't do so well on fast ground last time. Ron Harris tries Supersta in first-time blinkers and he's looked as though a drop to this trip would suit on his last two starts. SHERSTON has been making steady progress and produced a very good run in a much better race than this at York last time so, with more improvement to come, he looks the one to be on. Soul Instinct scored at Carlisle the only time he's faced soft ground and Iseemist has run in better company since landing a Goodwood maiden in May. Berrahri didn't take to the Polytrack after a promising effort on soft ground at Newbury and could be a threat at a decent price.
