Cairn Gorm and TREACHEROUS finished upsides at Windsor 12 days ago. The former may have needed that run but the latter is a pound better off and had won at Newbury previously, despite finding trouble in-running. Good Earth has been in good form but has been raised 5lb since second at York two weeks ago and Brazen Bolt is having a first run since March. Fantasy Master should have done better on his favoured soft going at Nottingham last time and is best over 5f so Pearle D'Or and Mattice may be best of the rest.
