BAZWIND comfortably has the highest rating of these and went close on fast going on Turf here in July. He didn't stay 7f last time at Haydock and should be winning this if handling the switch to Polytrack. Joyful Dream could make a race of it with Hollie Doyle's claim in her favour but the others are modest in the extreme on what they've shown so far, though Alligator went close over a mile at Chelmsford in September.
