Probably the toughest race of the week to fathom. Sagramor will attract support after his impressive Haydock success and Chain Lightning landed a very strong Sandown handicap in fine style. The latter race was over 1m2f but Richard Hannon's charge has the pace for this. Polar Kite started favourite in that Haydock event and, though never in the hunt, is expected to do much better here. Kuala Limper was having only his second race on turf when winning impressively at Nottingham and should go well under Olivier Peslier while, if blinkers have the desired effect on Tropical Beat, he could take this from his lowly mark. EKTIBAAS had Sagramor behind at Warwick last month and though subsequently beaten when attempting to make all at Newmarket he can do better than that and is taken to emulate stablemate Ransom Note, who won this last year.
