Opening Bid has gone well here in the past and has had wind surgery since a disappointing campaign over fences in the spring. Canal Rocks won at Worcester in June and is much better off at the weights than when beaten just over four lengths by Appreciate at Stratford earlier. Kolisi is weighted to reverse Stratford running in June with Appreciate but has gone off the boil a little since rattling up a hat-trick in April. MILLIES MITE is 0-18 but she was only headed in the closing stages off this mark at Fontwell last time and this sharper track might suit. Benangone may need a bit further.
