A valuable race for the grade that has attracted some interesting types. After a slow start in handicaps, TROPICAL HEAT showed improved form to get off the mark at Sandown last month and she makes plenty of appeal in her bid to follow up. Latynina hasn't lived up to her pedigree but could be worth another chance having been too keen over 1m on handicap debut while Renewable Dream has some solid maiden form and may improve now handicapping.
