MULTAMIS (NAP) has won twice at Epsom this year so should feel at home on these gradients - he can take a 4lb rise in his stride. Long Call hasn’t raced since an unlucky run at Kempton in January but Alnadir was second again at Windsor last week and is in better form than Double Reflection. Noble Account is a pound out of the handicap and Nonios, better on the all-weather, was due to run yesterday at Bath.
