Plenty with claims in this but a speculative vote goes to MISS DASHWOOD. She failed by only a nose at Kempton last time and a good run from the winner, Sky Crossing, earlier on the card would boost confidence. Rawaafed is another with claims after finishing third at this track three weeks ago but Charitable Act has something to prove now having looked like a non-stayer at Sandown last time. Isthmus has gone off the boil of late along with Lanarkshire but recent Brighton winner Resplendent Alpha is a genuine threat and Bold Cross won't be far away.
