The unexposed 3-y-o runners are expected to have the edge, with CROSS MY MIND preferred having won over C&D on her penultimate start, and she found things developing too quickly at Windsor last time. Formula One was a bit below his best here last time, but saw plenty of daylight, and remains capable of better at this trip, while Grecian Spirit is proven on the surface and promised to be suited by the trip, so is shortlisted after a wind operation.
