OBLITEREIGHT carries a penalty for his recent victory over C&D but returned a convincing winner. He can confirm running with second Don Libre and the well-beaten Compton Prince, despite the worse terms, and go in again. Serene Oasis has held her form since scoring at Newmarket last month and can figure while the lightly-raced Catherine Laboure has plenty of scope having got off the mark on the Turf at Lingfield last month. Lucky Money is treading water at present but could still prove best of the remainder.
