A winner twice in 22 starts, he secured his most recent victory on his latest start, scooting clear to score by 5L in a race over a longer trip at Lingfield. Has not run over this trip since May 2016 but he is in good heart. Big run expected.

Was a very smart performer in his younger days but his best days would now appear to be consigned to the annals of history. Well beaten at long odds in two recent starts since moving stables, he has it all to do here.

11/1
Opened his account over a slightly longer trip at Yarmouth back in May, but has failed to add to that initial success in three subsequent starts. The drop in trip to 1m2f should suit but he will need to regain his best form to secure this prize.

Nothing out of the ordinary as a juvenile but has come on in leaps and bounds this season and is the one they all have to beat. Successful on three occasions, she was mightily impressive when scoring over this trip last time and is in superb form.

7/4
A winner over 7f at Catterick in October 2016, he was then gelded and has taken time to find his best form. Ran over 1m1f at York last time and looked back to his best with an authoritative win. Sure to mount a strong challenge.

A winner over this CD in May 2016 and has also won a race over a longer trip at Lingfield. Not beaten far in the majority of his recent outings, he can run into a place here if showing his best.

7/1
Having shown some promise in his two races at two, he has stepped things up a little this season, securing a couple of victories, both at Lingfield on the AW, winning once over this trip. Back on turf with a new yard and is a leading contender.

Forecasts

In First Place (7/4), Canberra Cliffs (9/4), Plymouth Sound (6/1), Pack It In (13/2), Earthly (7/1), Sean O'Casey (11/1), Miss Minuty (12/1), Retrieve (50/1)

Verdict

Earthly is one to consider back on turf having won a couple of races on the AW and he will be a popular choice with Hayley Turner booked to ride. Plymouth Sound romped home in impressive fashion over a further distance at Lingfield last time out and will be hard to keep out of the frame. Pack It In could give each-way backers a good run for their money but the vote of confidence goes to CANBERRA CLIFFS. A daughter of the classy Canford Cliffs, she has hit the ground running in 2017 and the manner of her latest victory suggested that she is a filly worth following.
  1. Canberra Cliffs
  2. Plymouth Sound
  3. Earthly
