Katswiri rolls on with Bocelli's Legend, Wild Cavalier and Lyonesse all handy. Expecting a true tempo. KATSWIRI was good on speed in town on debut and comes here looking to step up on that form. Speed should come from Bocelli's Legend with Katswiri going forward from a wide gate. Make Me Dough and Rock In My Head are also possible on pacers. TAQAAREED is a well bred filly who has shown good ability in jump outs and trials. Only has to run up to her trials to be right in the finish. KATSWIRI gave a good account at her only start at Sandown last month and will be better for it. Drawn out but will go forward and can be hard to beat. BAGRAT BULLET is going well without winning and has placed in all three synthetic starts to date. Sure to be running on strongly. They look the main chances with perhaps Bocelli's Legend the next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Katswiri but wary of a big market lead for Taqaareed.
