Emirates Echo will be a warm order stepping up in distance having finished second at Windsor last time. He was still beaten six lengths, however, and KICKEN OFF makes more appeal as he was headed at the post over 5f here a week ago and can put that experience to good use today. Phil McEntee's colt gets the nod as the remainder have shown little so far with It's Only Business perhaps the best of them on his latest sixth at Windsor.
