Purgatory arrives here on a 4lb higher mark after scoring at Kempton but has won over this track and trip earlier and looks certain to make a bold bid. Robsdelight has generally competed at a much higher level and has run well on soft ground but Squelch looks to have plenty of weight for her handicap debut. Vive La Difference has been very busy lately and has been beaten off this mark three times but KINGS ROYAL HUSSAR has generally performed with credit at this sort of level and the softer going can see him making a bold bid to lose his maiden tag. Ryan Moore's presence on Pamper catches the eye and his mount continues to attract support though without justification so far.
