Deyrann de Carjac fell on his only previous run in a handicap and has disappointed subsequently. Champagne Mystery is also becoming expensive to follow but makes his handicap debut. Theatre Legend and Our Lucas were both winners last time so enter calculations while Suggestion has already won three times this season, all on left-handed tracks. EQUUS MILLAR goes well fresh and the ground has turned in his favour. Though he stays further, the top weight has a good strike-rate over 2m and could swoop late to land the spoils.
