None of this moderate bunch inspire any confidence but EYE GLASS has tumbled down the weights in her native Ireland and may prove good enough with headgear applied for the first time. Equilicious was placed here recently without threatening the winner but was less than a length ahead of Madakheel while Tasaaboq has been thereabouts at Chelmsford on more than one occasion this year and could be in the mix. Ripon Rose is one of the least exposed and should be sharper for a comeback run over 6f here last month.
