SQUIRREL WOOD finally opened her account when scoring at Lingfield last month. She may be up to winning again off a 4lb higher mark. Larghetto went close over 7f on her latest start but has plenty to prove judged on her earlier attempts over longer trips. By contrast, Nifty Kier will appreciate the return to a mile having finished a close-up fourth at Lingfield on his penultimate outing while Malih has a shout off his current mark as he continues to slip down the weights. Attain could prove best of the rest.
