Formscan - Dubai Venture won here over 1m4f in July and now drops half a mile in trip after filling the runner-up spot at Redcar. He is likely to be competitive, but the unexposed THUNDER GODDESS shades the vote. Andrew Balding's filly is 2lb well-in after going close at Lingfield last week and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for her to strike. Grindleton and Regulus Black are others capable of a decent showing.
