The progressive JOHAN (NAP) has now won four of his eight starts having scored in this grade at Ayr last month. He debuts on the all-weather but there looks more to come from the Haggas colt. Lord Neidin arrives in good form but is upped in class having won here earlier but Assimilation has a shout on his Wolverhampton success back in March and will be sharper for a recent comeback. War Glory and Pactolus have to race off higher marks back on the all-weather while Gallipoli looks high enough in the weights.
