Bronze Angel won this off a higher mark in 2015 but has barely raised a gallop since and has a lengthy absence to overcome. You're Fired and Big Baz would have place claims on their best form while Kryptos is much improved, though faces his toughest task to date. BATTERED (NAP) has fewer negatives than the others and probably came up against a well-handicapped rival at York last month on his first try over a mile – he should go one better here. Muntazah is preferred to Sinfonietta of the others.
