Crackentorp and Sir Graham Wade turned in a bad one at York last time in the Ebor and the Melrose respectively. Both would figure on their best form and Address Unknown is another to consider as he had Becausewecan and Lyric Street behind at Ascot last month. Tropical Beat went close to catching Kirthill at York recently and should stay this longer trip while Itlaaq finished ahead of High Office and Herostatus over 2m on his latest start. GOSBECK has improved with every run this season culminating in a three-length victory over today's trip at Nottingham. Henry Candy's filly arrives here at the top of her game and, despite needing to find a bit more improvement, is fancied to follow up.
