GOLDEN SANDS has been here twice and won both though he completed a double in a two-runner race. He hasn't performed badly on Turf subsequently and can remain unbeaten on the track. Hypersonical was returning from a break when a close third over the track and trip earlier this month and has to be of interest while Letter Of The Law ran very well at Nottingham and wouldn't need much more to take a hand in the finish. Sir Min has never raced on this surface but was staying on over a mile at Thirsk last time and has Hollie Doyle's presence to aid his cause.
