Verdict

Dual course winner ST MARY'S still looked to be on the upgrade when winning over 2m here earlier in the month and, given that she has handled testing conditions previously, it would be no surprise to see her defy a 3lb rise over a slightly shorter trip. West Drive ran too bad to be true last time but a change of headgear could easily revitalise him and he would be a threat if reproducing the form he showed to win at Sandown previously. Berrahi and Nabhan would also be dangerous if putting their best foot forward.
