Plenty have decent claims in this including top weight Linroyale Boy. He recorded a double here earlier this year, though he's 5lb higher than last month's win over track and trip. Satwa Laird is back on a winning mark and Follow The Flag will be taking advantage of his slide down the weights before long. But Goldmadchen has disappointed since scoring here in February while Honoured will need a big improvement on his earlier attempts on this surface. Solarmaite is unproven over the longer trip and so is MUZHIL, but the latter's breeding suggests she'll relish a test of stamina and Clive Brittain's filly gets the nod on her handicap debut.
