THOUGHTFUL GIFT (11) ran a solid race behind an in-form horse when third over course and distance fifteen days ago. Oisin Murphy retains the ride and a bold bid should be on the cards in this weak-looking classified event. HOLD THE PRESS (4) came within a nose of success when runner-up over 7f here last time and cannot be ignored at this level. It's tough to rule out UNITED FORCE (12), who was a good second over track and trip recently and previous course scorer REGAL GLORY (9) could be in the mix following a decent fourth-place finish over 7f at this venue.
