Verdict

It might be worth chancing CONCIERGE, who will benefit from the return to 6f, has won here before and won't be inconvenienced should the ground ride testing. Moe's Legacy arrives in good form and is also on the shortlist along with Silent Flame, who is well handicapped if first-time blinkers help her to stage a revival.

  1. CONCIERGE (IRE)
  2. MOE'S LEGACY
  3. SILENT FLAME
