The Hannon yard has won four of the last five but the returning Burnt Sugar failed to win a race last year. Absolutely So beat only three others to win last year’s renewal and had his first start since then at Haydock last month. CHARMING THOUGHT has been off the track since winning the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket in 2014. But this looks a good spot for the Godolphin colt to make his comeback and he should go close if running anywhere near the same level. Strath Burn was narrowly beaten in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last term but was behind runner-up Watchable and Naadirr in a Listed sprint last time while last year’s Ayr Gold Cup winner Don't Touch came up short on his first foray into pattern company at the Curragh recently. Danzeno was placed in a Group 2 sprint at York on his reappearance, however, and looks a real threat on that form.
