Purple 'n Gold has leading claims back over today's shorter distance and already holds a verdict over previous winner Whitby Jet. Ishikawa bids for a hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark having scored by only a head at Lingfield last time while On The Hoof took advantage of Matthew Hopkins' claim to finish closer at Wolverhampton last week and can figure. Malindi beat much lower rated rivals to land a maiden on her latest start and needs more here so the vote goes to CANARY WHARF, dropping down in grade and the weights for a yard that is still firing in the winners.
