Yorkindred Spirit went close over 2m at Lingfield recently and looks best over that trip while Shifting Moon also drops back in distance after a close-up fourth in the same race. BORN TO REIGN is preferred as he appeared to find 2m beyond him here last time but finished a lot closer over 1m5f at Bath earlier. Unex Modigliani never threatened despite finishing second over 1m4f at Kempton while both of Layline's wins this year have been in plating races.
