Miracles In May gained his only track victory in this race two years ago though he's also won twice on Turf. He scored at Gowran in September when Phoenix Open was a long way behind though the latter had won on fast ground there earlier. Maccliff won on the latter track in May and has a couple of victories here to her credit while Arch Enemy had been racing over hurdles before a fair debut on this track last week. Almonds hasn't shown much in maidens but has more scope than these but a poor handicap can go to HARBANAKER, whose last victory here a year ago was from a 7lb higher mark where his rider claimed 3lb less than today.
