Three-year-olds have won all but one of the last 10 and that's unlikely to change here. Abaco Ridge put a moderate debut behind her when runner-up in very testing ground at Doncaster so she has to be considered along with Ss Vega, who showed potential at Redcar. Dance Alone was disappointing on soft going at Redcar after a better effort on much quicker ground earlier and it would be no surprise if stable companion Brilliant Vanguard improved past him this season. DACOITY couldn't get to Indian Pursuit at Catterick but this stiffer track should be more to his liking and he can make a successful reappearance.
