Verdict
Kyllachy Gala can do better back on the all-weather today and the same comment applies to Renardeau, who also returns to a more suitable trip. Culture won over 1m3f here recently and is 6lb higher while Noonday Gun scored over today’s distance at Catterick before failing to stay 2m at Goodwood. Mayfair Spirit drops back down in class but a speculative vote goes to SNEAKY PEEK, who faded badly in the closing stages when attempting to make all at Lingfield on her reappearance but has a shout on last year’s placed efforts in tougher handicaps than this at Goodwood and Ascot
