Sharjah has been trying for his 10th course victory since July 2018 though has gone close on numerous occasions. Everyhouronthehour's three track victories have been over a mile and though Sam Missile made a fine return to the Flat last month he's better over further. Lunastar also ran very well over the track and trip a month ago though his last victory was over 2m4f over timber. STORM ELZA was having only her third start on the track when scoring with a bit in hand last month. She's up 6lb but with further progress likely she can complete a double. Getaway Queen and Crest Of A Wave, who were both beaten three lengths in that latter race, were staying on without landing a blow and should get closer on the revised terms.
