Since winning here over 1m2f last month, John O'Shea's Mostarsil has disappointed back over hurdles but did run better when returned to the flat last time, chasing home Replacement Pet at Chepstow. That effort was again over 10 furlongs and there is no guarantee that the four-year-old will appreciate this longer trip. Best in on official BHB ratings is Mark Johnston's Kamala but the daughter of Priolo has yet to trouble the judge in four starts. Admittedly there is probably more to come and she should appreciate the drop in class but the TEAMtalk selection has to be for the proven form of Fraternize. Simon Dow's four-year-old was placed in handicaps over course and distance and at Salisbury in May and, while his form has been below that of late, this represents a big drop in class. The rest of the runners make very limited appeal.
