Dourado is usually thereabouts but last won way back in 2017 and VICTORIOUS NIGHT is preferred. The latter failed to threaten at Brighton last time but faces a much easier task in this with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance further helping his cause. Sandown fourth Be Lucky My Son is preferred to Buxted Too, who drops down in distance, while recent winners Street Poet and Dubai Elegance are both upped in class. Naadyaa is worth a second glance now handicapping.
