1/5
Bred more for speed but clearly stays a mile well based on his course win here last time out, where he was value for more than the wining margin (idled a bit). Penalty to carry here means this is no easy task, but clearly going the right way.

Looks ready for this seventh furlong on the way she stayed on nicely at Hamilton last tie out, although that form has taken a knock since. Still, she looks a potential improver and getting plenty of weight, can't be ruled out.

7/1
Too green to do herself justice on debut at Goodwood and found herself all at sea on the track, but did much better at Newcastle last time when a close third. If she can reproduce that run back of turf, has every chance getting the weight.

10/1
Bred to have a bit of speed, and this drop in trip after a satisfactory debut here at Haydock in April (soft ground) may be no bad thing, but slightly surprising we haven't seen her out since then and may need this.

Forecasts

Swiss Knight (1/5), Molls Memory (7/1), New Day Dawn (10/1), Cale Lane (20/1)

Verdict

Swiss Knight looks the one to beat after his win here last time out but he's got to give a chunk of weight away to three fillies, all of whom may improve, and it's no penalty kick for him. A chance is taken that MOLLS MEMORY can reproduce her Newcastle run back on turf, because she can give Swiss Knight plenty to think about if she can. Cale Lane looks another potential improver and isn't discounted either.
