Alminoor finished last at Lingfield last time having won over track and trip before that while Pistoletto has to be forgiven a poor effort here last month. Eton College represents last year’s winning yard and better is expected from him today but REVOLUTIONISE is preferred. The latter posted a much better effort when second over track and trip on his first outing after wind surgery and can go one better racing off the same mark. Tadleel has been off the track since August and Further Measure debuts for new connections having won a maiden race in France.
