Winner of the "Leger Legends" race at Doncaster last year when making all the running and in no danger from some way out. That shows he handles these conditions and an all the way C&D success in April took his total to three wins in a light career. Met an in form rival last time and looks more than capable of going well again following a further break.
Won with a bit in hand on stable debut and a 3lb rise seems generous. Tackles a new trip on softer ground than she has previously faced, but pedigree suggests that should not be such a problem.
0-14 on turf with all his career wins coming on artificial surfaces. Recent rain adds to the concerns and he may need further. Trainer is 5-19 at the track and has made a bold statement with the jockey booking.
His two best efforts have come here on soft ground over slightly shorter. Poor on last two runs on faster ground after the missing the break and more is expected here. This looks a good race for the grade and easier opportunities may await.
Has looked better on AW surfaces and when able to dictate matters up front. The presence of Phosphorescence and the easy underfoot conditions will make this difficult.
C&D winner off 7lb lower in May and has run below that level on his last two starts. Appears better suited to quicker surfaces than forecast for this.
Impressive winner of a classified stakes race over C&D in June. Out of her depth last time and blinkers are fitted. Handicap mark looks feasible but sire's progeny prefer quicker ground.

PHOSPHORESCENCE goes well fresh and a seven week break should see him ready to make a bold bid from the front. This straight mile looks tailormade for him and he handles the soft conditions well. Wigan Warrior arrives following a comfortable success last time and he remains on a good mark, whilst The Yellow Bus also won with something in hand and may have more to offer.
