Babyfact won this a year ago before winning in better company at Goodwood and Sandown. She won again here in May which is why she's 12lb higher than last year but is still likely to go well. STORM MELODY won a much better race than this here in September and is only 2lb higher so should be difficult to beat. Debonaire David has completed a double on two different all-weather surfaces so reverting to Turf shouldn't be a problem though he's 5lb higher in a slightly higher grade. The latter remarks also apply to Burauq, who won here a couple of weeks ago, but Our Lord has bounced back to form since changing stables and has only been narrowly beaten in his last three starts.
