Formscan - ECCLESIASTICAL led for most of the way when fourth over course and distance last time. The handicapper has taken a chance dropping Tristan Davidson's sprinter 2lb and a bold bid is expected. Secret Mistral has placed in both outings since winning at Haydock in June with Habooba well beaten on that occasion, but the latter has subsequently scored on the all-weather, while Lotus Rose ran well for third at Beverley and warrants respect.
