With Hindsight has won over the trip at Catterick but almost all of his racing these days is on the all-weather and he was only beaten a short-head at Wolverhampton last month. Graceful Lady has had 16 starts and is yet to win though she wasn't beaten far over the track and trip last time in similar company. Dream Serenade stays the trip having won over an extended two miles at Wolverhampton so she can get competitive but Thomas Blossom has been beaten off similar marks and may have to settle for a place again. The Juggler is generally thereabouts but hasn't won yet so the vote in an open contest goes to SMOKY HILL, who hasn't been running well but returns to the scene of his easiest victory from a 5lb higher mark last summer.
