Blanc De Chine is very speedy but her latest third at Nottingham suggests she's on a high enough mark at present. Sandfrankskipsgo was only third behind the top weight at Bath three runs ago though was a ready winner at Brighton last month, beating WHITECREST by a length. But John Spearing's consistent mare is 3lb better off now and didn't come down the hill too well at the seaside track. She's almost guaranteed to run her race here and can get back to winning ways. Cruise Tothelimit might appreciate the quicker surface and could be the pick of the remainder with Hughes on board as West Coast Dream hasn't really fired so far this year.
