Ursus is perhaps still too high in the weights and he is not certain to enjoy the trip and there is more appeal made by Hot Rod Mamma who is just 2lb higher for winning at Catterick last time. Peter's Gift has to remain in calculations for the major honours after a narrow loss by a nose at Musselburgh to Social Rhythm. Although she is respected a chance is taken with ALWAYS DAZZLING. She was just half a length behind the winner over course and distance last time and there is more scope for improvement. Mark Johnston has a good record here and with his yard in fine nick as well, it may pay to side with Always Dazzling.
