STATEWIDE (1) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 6f at Ascot. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. PENNYLASS (15) has been out of the placings in tougher races at her last two outings, the latest when seventh in stakes class in the LR Supremacy Stakes at Ascot. Well-placed in this easier assignment and she is among the leading players. BRAZEN BUTCHER (14) was fair on debut last start when fifth over 5f at Ascot. Tackles a longer journey this time. Open to improvement and looks a contender. UNFORTUNATE LAD (3) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Ascot a week-and-a-half ago and finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.
