COTAI STARLIGHT is the least exposed in the field and rates an appealing candidate dropping to 5f for the first time given she's not short of pace. She can resume winning ways, at the expense of Hurt You Never, a 3-time C&D winner who ran well in first-time blinkers (retained here) when runner-up off this mark at Nottingham last week. Tanjen drops in grade and shouldn't be taken lightly, either.
