Eloquence's recent second here came in a claimer and over a shorter trip. Sudden Wish wouldn't be without a chance under Hayley Moore and Sakhra could also play a part but SURROUND SOUND isn't badly treated and hasn't been disgraced in either start on the Tapeta. Tim Easterby's gelding can score for the first time on the all-weather as this looks too far for course winner Officer In Command and Bethan has an absence to overcome.
