Weapon Of Choice is fresh from a victory over hurdles but he hasn’t won on the Flat since 2013 and this trip may be on the sharp side for him now. Know Your Name was an impressive winner at Wolverhampton last time out but may struggle to follow up off his new mark here, while Kiwi Bay also appears to be in the grip of the handicapper, so preference is for CURZON LINE. He hasn’t shown much this season, but he has dropped to a good mark and has the ability to win again at this level. Dark Confidant has also slipped to an exploitable rating, could be suited by this trip and has solid each-way claims, and it would be no surprise to see Ravenhoe return to form and get involved at the finish.
