A couple of these are penalised for winning including Satono Japan, who scored over a mile at Kempton last October. TAQAREER has the more recent form having landed the odds with the minimum of fuss over 1m2f at Lingfield and the Gosden colt can go in again. Aim For The Stars and Approach The City went close over a mile at Kempton and Newcastle respectively while Top Fox can include a German Oaks winner among his winning relatives and is preferred to fellow newcomers Portray and Big Wing.
