With Foxtrot Alpha still 6lb higher than her last victory it will probably pay to stick with FAULT. Stef Higgins' gelding won four times last year and his recent placed efforts suggest he's ready to strike again off his current mark. Course specialist Mandhooma should run her race once again though Yanbu finished ahead of her over C&D last month and the latter could figure in this, but Interakt still looks a shade high in the weights judged on her recent form. St Ignatius had Set To Go behind when winning here in April and looks best of the remainder.
