A tricky handicap but Rae Guest has been in scintillating form on the all-weather so far this year and his MISS CATO looks a likely sort if transferring her ability to turf, having already scored twice on Fibresand. She was especially impressive when dealing out a four-length beating to the odds-on Moataz and her subsequent third at Wolverhampton may just have come too quickly. She's been rested since and this looks a good starting point for her turf career off a fair mark. Moataz's stable companion, Vena Amoris, hasn't pulled up any trees on the all-weather but looks the sort to improve with time and this step up in trip. Rogue Reporter belied his odds with a close fourth at Kempton last time and looks to have progressed well over the winter while My Guardian Angel looks the sort to progress from two to three but hasn't been seen since a staying-on third here last July.
