FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GRADUATE OF HONOUR, a half-sister to eight winners including one at Listed level, ran well on her first course run last month and is just 1lb higher today. She is still a little unexposed being a lightly raced three year old and with the benefit of her recent course debut run, should go close today. Picpoul seemed to thrive stepping up to 1m4f on her latest runs and while dropping in trip isn't ideal, should still get involved from 5lb higher today. One-time Listed winner Never Back Down was rated 107 at his peak and ran well on his first start over this trip recently, with Colin Keane now booked. Clueless Hill is 4lb higher than when winning here last month (Here's Hoping was third) while Arctic Blaze is winless in 16 starts but ran well on her comeback run here, with Moving third, recently.
