Verdict
Maoi Chinn Tire's recent form figures are impressive but most of his wins on the Flat have come on a fast surface. Sunny Future seems to reserve his best for Salisbury but there are possibilities about Epsom scorer Mustamir, who is lightly raced, and NOTARISED. Mark Johnston's charge has been knocking on the door lately off similar marks and deserves a change of luck. Incurs Four Faults is trying a much longer trip but there is little evidence to suggest it will bring about much improvement while Cavalieri looks one-paced.
