Curia Regis and Fluidity were drawn low when occupying the minor berths over 7f here last month but have high berths this time. The former looks best of the pair here as the extra furlong should suit. Free Spin ran quite well behind Rogue Element on the same card and is expected to improve while David Wachman's newcomer Pacific Ridge is by Gone West out of a mare who won four times in the USA and is one to keep an eye on. ZALANTOUN showed promise behind Tibet on his debut at Gowran and did nothing wrong when placed behind stablemate Call To Battle at the Curragh. He looks the one to beat providing he takes to the surface.
