Sukhothai has been threatening to get off the mark over shorter trips, but with niggling doubts about her ability to last home over today's distance, the vote goes the way of SURPRISE. She was beaten only a short-head over today's trip at Beverley last month and went close again at Yarmouth last time. Mark Rimmer's filly could prove the one to beat if running up to that form here. Revolutionary has claims on an earlier second at Southwell, but Breton Star and Boston Court have a bit to find if they're to figure.
