If allowed to take her chance three days on from finishing second in a Killarney handicap, VEGA'S MUSE could be the answer with this drop back in trip unikely to be an issue and the addition of cheekpieces another potentially positive factor, having hung left/carried his head awkwardly at Killarney. Saxon Kingdom's strike rate is a bit off-putting, but he's pretty consistent on the whole and is likely to give another good account, while Free Solo and Kinda Tiny also enter calculations.
