ANCIENT STATE (4) improved from a Brighton fifth when scoring tackling 6f at Newmarket and this gelding looks well placed to follow up now eased in distance. Leading contender. CALL TO ACTION (3) was narrowly defeated in a small field attempting 5f at Hamilton Park and his strong record at this trip makes him a major player. Represents the main danger. MISS RAINBOW (13) won contesting 5f at Thirsk and Barry McHugh keeping the ride is a positive factor. Makes some appeal. LITTLE MI MI (11) was only beaten 1L when fourth over 5f at Musselburgh and can improve into the frame. Not discounted.
