It doesn't bode well that Supersticion is dropped in class so soon but Norfolk Sky should be thereabouts after a couple of wins in lowly handicaps. Daring Damsel went close in a similar contest over C&D last time and makes more appeal than last month's Warwick winner Lady Romanza but the vote goes to GUNNER WILL. His latest second in a seller at Wolverhampton looks the best form on offer and he can finally get off the mark in this. Moataz arrives badly out of sorts and the remainder have plenty to find on today's terms.
