Plumpton winner Comedy Act ran a shocker when a short price to follow up at Sandown next time and may already need a longer trip. Bangor winner Harry Hunt will do well to follow up here under a penalty while Jubail also looks vulnerable with the extra having been off the track since finishing fourth in a Listed contest at Wetherby in October, though did finish ahead of the smart Grandouet on that occasion which gives him the beating of Ascot third Looks Like Slim. City Ground and Emrani are newcomers to note, while White Diamond should improve on her debut fourth at Wetherby but MOOSE MORAN is almost certainly capable of more than he showed at Sandown on this easier track and gets the vote.
