This looks tricky with Inquiring Minds debuting on Turf after struggling in the Lingfield Derby Trial. Circuit Breaker made a winning debut at Windsor and steps up in trip along with PERFUSE. The latter romped home in testing ground at Nottingham last month and may be the one to side with if proving as effective on this faster surface. The newcomers Star Turn and Hondo look up against it.
