BE THE STANDARD (1) opened his account in style landing a 1m maiden at Thirsk last time by 0.8L. Lightly raced with further improvement to come and rates a leading contender. SOVEREIGN VIEW (3) ran a creditable race from the front when 5.5L third tackling 7f at Newbury on latest outing and rates a major threat in this slightly easier contest. LIKENESS (4) was below her best at Wolverhampton last start finishing sixth. Freshened since and is capable of a better showing on prior form. CHAMPION ISLAND (2) wasn’t disgraced in a competitive York handicap last time and can be given another chance.
