Another good field has been assembled for this and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, Tysou has been banging on the door in his last two starts and is fancied to gain some reward for his efforts today. Europa goes well here and is respected on the best of his form. But he has plenty of weight to carry at this level and he is passed over in favour of Armaturk as the biggest danger to the selection. The seven-year-old is better suited to this trip than his stablemate Exit Swinger and will be very hard to get past if he is up there with the pace near the finish. However, Tysou has the assistance of a very useful conditional whose 3lb claim will be a big help if the ground takes it's toll in the closing stages. Wuxi Venture is one for the more adventurous as he has shown plenty of improvement this term. But the balance of form suggests that he has a little to find with a few of these - especially Tysou, who is expected to gain a deserved first win of the season today.
