Race preview
Though Garrus merits respect having defeated Commanche Falls in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket in April, he might struggle to confirm that form under a 3lb penalty. The latter also makes plenty of appeal, but a chance is taken on COLD CASE. Ground conditions were said to have scuppered his chances in the Sandy Lane last time, but they should suit here and Karl Burke's unexposed sprinter might resume his progress. Lezoo is firmly in the mix on official ratings and she is a key player in receipt of weight.
