Handling the ground is one thing, but getting home if it turns into a slog is another and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of Mark Johnston's unbeaten Cape Bunting.

She is 2-2, having won her maiden at Newmarket on fast ground in June and then followed up by scooting home at Musselburgh by five lengths a couple of weeks ago.
