Sir Michael Stoute has kept Commodity in training and that faith suggests he is worth considering in this. His best run came here last season and it will be interesting to see how the market assesses his chances following a tame effort last time. Duke Of North arrives fitter for a recent AW outing and on a good mark. Drawn out in stall 14 his young rider will have his work cut out. Shifting Star and Berrahri arrive in form from their winter campaigns but Pam Sly's GHINIA could be the answer to a difficult race. The mare has a good record at the track and went well fresh last season. She won over C&D in 2015 but the handicapper, who has taken charge since, has given her a good opportunity to land her fourth success.
