This looks open with Masked Identity raised only 3lb for winning at Newmarket and Late Arrival scoring at Kempton last time. Alminoor won over 6f at Pontefract on his handicap debut and new stablemate Tilsitt landed a maiden race in France back in March. Sidereal drops down from a mile and Corazon Espinado finished a close-up fourth at Kempton last time while DIRTY RASCAL showed signs of a resurgence at Newbury on his latest start. The latter has won three times off higher marks in the past and may prove the one to side.
