MAELSTROM (10) looked to be progressing rapidly before failing to complete the four-timer when seventh at York (6f) in June. Trained by William Haggas and not beaten far that day on ground toward the quick side. Can return to winning ways back down in standard under softer conditions. Stablemate SHOWERING (3) handles ease in the ground and could prove a main threat with Harry Burns taking off 3lb following his third-place finish at Goodwood recently. Last-time-out Ayr winner WOVEN (5) needs to be included on his first start at this track despite racing off a 3lb higher mark. DR STRANGELOVE (2) rounds out the shortlist.
