Howyadoingnotsobad scored over C&D last time but will need to improve again off a 6lb higher mark. Colourbearer won over 6f at this track the last time Kieren Fallon was on board and Adventure Story's placed efforts on the turf entitle him to consideration, but SHARP SHOES makes most appeal. He's also been in better form on turf of late, but won over track and trip off today's mark earlier this year and can return to winning ways back on this surface. Eshoog and Black Baccara have place claims if back to their best.
