Euchen Glen comes out best at the weights despite carrying a penalty for a Listed win at Sandown last term but the veteran may be better for today’s outing. Raymond Tusk found only a higher-rated rival too good in this last season though hasn’t won for some time now but Throne Hall landed a handicap on last year’s card, though has switched yards since. Calling The Wind does his winning over further nowadays while LAW OF THE SEA hasn’t raced since a decent effort in the Group 2 Queen’s Vase at Ascot last summer. But, subsequently gelded, the drop back down in trip should suit and he has the most scope of these.
