Mizzou made a winning reappearance in this last year on much quicker ground. He had Seismos well behind and Marco Botti's charge was only third behind Frosty Berry and CLEVER COOKIE at Nottingham earlier this month. Peter Niven's stayer probably just needed that run and should reverse placings with the surprise winner over this extra quarter-mile. He is also weighted to turn around course and distance running in October with Flying Officer. Burmese was still improving in the autumn and has already won over track and trip while Sandro Botticelli has already had a couple of runs this year. Suegioo usually comes up short at this level, however, and Glaring may be best watched on his first start for new connections.
