Only one three-year-old has won this in 10 years but Rosy Morning has to be considered as she's improved since stepping up to this trip. Hanseatic won a handicap off 83 in 2013 and hasn't had much racing subsequently but scored at Doncaster off an 11lb lower mark last time and has only been raised 3lb. Energia Flavio has had 20 starts in the UK since arriving from Brazil and is yet to win but he's been slowly dropping in the ratings and been showing a bit more so Richard Fahey may get a tune out of him at last. AUSPICION won a handicap over the track and trip before just finding an extra furlong beyond him in a better race at York. He wouldn't want the ground too fast but this looks a decent opportunity to get back to winning ways. Sands Chorus is consistent but 6lb higher than when scoring on heavy going here in April.
