DUFF gained his first success in two years over 6f here two weeks ago and is equally at home over today's trip. He's the class act here and gets the vote to follow-up. Luisant is also a regular at a higher level but is badly out of form. Casela Park has been racing over trips too far and loves it around here but the in-form Maundy Money has been beaten on all four starts on the track. Flic Flac ran well behind Blue Moon here last week but she's not easy to win with and though Lady Fashion won her first two starts on the track, she looks a few pounds high in the weights. Bawaardi arrives from Yorkshire with just one success from 14 all-weather starts but Sunset Beauty is on a fair mark and can get involved.
