Chief Craftsman is the pick of these on form having finished second over course and distance last month but there remains a doubt over whether this is his best trip. Helf, who was third in the latter race despite a slow start, looks to have more potential, but preference is for MUSAAHIM. Despite running green early on, he produced an eye-catching run on debut at Sandown, staying on strongly to suggest that this step up to 1m4f will suit him perfectly. Percy B Shelley was closing near the finish at Windsor last time and has place prospects while Grey Mist is a newcomer worth watching. Titan has shown nothing so far and the same can be said for Uber Cool while Normandie Attack was extremely disappointing first time out. Heron ran with promise on debut but may not be best suited by this trip
