The very consistent Nashville gets the trip but would prefer some rain as it was soft ground when he was narrowly beaten by Moidore at Newcastle in May. There's little between them at the revised weights though the winner ran really well on his only subsequent start at Ascot last month and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Irish raider CARRAROE FLYER has improved as she's stepped up in trip and has won three of her last four. She's now on a massive 10lb higher rating than her latest victory but can run here with a 6lb penalty and has Connor Beasley's claim to aid her cause so is given the nod to continue her progress. Longshadow has been beaten three times off lower marks than this since his Newcastle victory and has a couple of pounds to find with the very consistent Maoi Chinn Tire on their recent run at Musselburgh. Nafaath hasn't won for a very long time and would probably need the ground to turn soft.
