IRON SKY is knocking and after two seconds could exit the maiden ranks in a moderate line-up. CROWN PRINCE found solid support in his 2nd start but disappointed. Stablemate WAITFORGREENLIGHT is sure to improve. Watch the two first-timers - if either is strongly fancied it could be wise to follow the money. FOREVER FREE could make the Trifecta.

Ashley Fortune has half the six-horse field carded, CRIMSON PRINCESS, IPSO FACTO and PRINCESS KESH, and all could get involved depending on the pace set. RED MAPLE renews battle with IPSO FACTO but should turn it around on 4.5kg difference for 1.35 lengths. Slow starter PATON'S TEARS should be able to catch up without any problem. SOUTHERN SONG should be on top of them on collateral form.

CHROME TOURMALINE was heavily backed last time but disappointed. She was nearly two lengths behind HEARTLIGHT who showed vast improvement after a long break and could make her presence felt. GLITTERFOX wasn't far behind in both starts for her new yard and could feature again. WILKIES could need it. Watch the newcomers - they don't have to be stars to beat this field.

POSITIVE ATTITUDE is one of two runners in top form and on a hat-trick, the other being PRIME EXAMPLE, and both appear to be only maturing now. They should hold AFRAAD who meets them on better terms, an honest trier and looking to challenge again. BANHA BRIDGE, GREAT AFFAIR and MAMBO COME TESIO (races before this) could make the frame.

On the Whafeef form line, INDLAMU finished 1.25 lengths in front of SUPREME QUEST with MERIDIUS just behind. They could finish on top of one another and luck in running could determine the winner. Old man NORDIC REBEL cannot be ignored for money. BEY SUYAY is a trier looking to upset.

CELESTIAL CITY was never travelling well last time and could make amends. Similarly, SOUTHERN BLAZE never got into it last time. Both are capable and must be considered. BOB'S YOUR UNCLE is maturing and looking for a hat-trick. VITELLIUS has yet to finish out the money and should run another honest race. LORD VARYS appears held by CELESTIAL CITY but could make the money.
