GRANDPA'S ARIANNA shades the verdict in a competitive opener. She was mightily impressive when winning over the extended 1m here latest and shouldn't be inconvenienced by dropping back in trip. Short Kakes and Banty's Girl, closely matched on their recent clash, can also show up well.

Difficult to be too confident about any of these, but SPIRAL BOUND is least exposed with only one run under her belt and can improve for the drop in both trip and grade. Gypsy Jo also has her sights lowered and merits consideration, while Desert Affair is much better than showing last time.

TALE OF MIST posted a solid placed effort in strong company at Laurel when last sighted and he will prove difficult to beat if able to reproduce that level of performance in this lesser event. Truly A Moon Shot also drops in class and could take second, ahead of Mydadfloyd.

ETHAN HUNT has been in cracking form of late and is fancied to go one better than his length second in a similar track and trip event last time.

PENCE certainly deserves to win one of these following a number of nearly efforts and tonight could well be his night. Dropped-in-class Space Key and the unexposed Latin Love Bug are others to consider in an open finale.
