Willheconquertoo will appreciate this drop back to five furlongs and can beat Intriguing Glimpse and Stargem. Andrew Reid's five-year-old ran over the seven furlong trip here last time and wasn't disgraced finishing just over four lengths behind Landucci. Although he has won over that distance in the past he is much more at home over the minimum and having dropped down the weights he is now back on a winning mark. Stargem returned to form last time chasing home Sahara Silk at Musselburgh, if he can repeat that effort he shouldn't be far away. Intriguing Glimpse took advantage of a lenient handicap mark to land a handicap at Lingfield last time, but she only just scraped home and may find it hard under a penalty. Catch The Wind and Pulse have strong claims on their best form but Willheconquertoo cannot be ignored off his current rating and is a confident choice.
