SUPERSTA just held on to win at Wolverhampton last time. He's upped 5lb but drops down a grade and should confirm running with Gabrial The Thug. Bailiwick is getting closer but this longer trip is a worry while Welliesinthewater has recorded all three wins to date over shorter distances. Mishrif scored over track and trip back in March and Just Marion is back on a winning mark while the less-exposed Kawaii finished closer at Wolverhampton last time and may also figure.
