KANISHKA (3) was beaten 2 lengths into second at Ayr two starts ago then finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Leicester. Will drift back but wind up late. Looks a great chance to break through. UBETTERSEETHIS (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1400m at Chester after being in the firing line on the turn. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. CRYSTAL AURORA (8) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Chester, beaten 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SAND SWEEPER (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Kevin Philippart De Foy. By Tasleet from Meet Marhaba. Top-three chance.
