Whatever It Takes, Steelyeyed and Rock On Bach could battle for the lead in the early stages of this 1m4f contest with possibly Empresario just off the pace. MISS MIRABEAU formerly with Sir Mark Prescott could surprise here on her third start for the yard appreciating the step up in trip. Carvelas and last time out beaten favourite Fairy Flute could hit the frame.
