Lungarno Palace was well supported when landing this a year ago from just 1lb lower but had already run twice previously in the campaign which isn't the case this time. Leah Freya ran four times here last summer and won three of them, the latest by 10l on very testing ground. She's 11lb higher and is having her first run back so could just need it. Knight Music returned to action with a victory at Lingfield but he's taking a step-up in class from a 6lb higher mark. Oasis Fantasy rarely runs at this lower level and is normally consistent though it's almost two years since he last won and his stable companion Scrutinise, who won a better handicap than this at Goodwood and is 6lb higher, looks to have more of a chance. PRENDERGAST HILL has more scope than most of these. A maiden winner on soft ground here in September, he was well supported on his handicap debut at Kempton last month but couldn't quite go the pace over slightly shorter. Compensation awaits here.
