Cristoforo will be a warm order here and gets our vote ahead of Burgundy, Katiypour and My Galliano. The selection has won three of his last four races, including narrowly last time here over a two-furlong longer trip. He's been raised six pounds for that but, with an excellent apprentice rider booked, should go close to recording another win. Burgundy has won his last three races, two of them on Turf, is on a fair mark, has won here and, also, has a good rider booked. Expect a good run from him. Katiypour is a course and distance winner but is three pounds higher than his previous best success. However, do not rule out a good run. My Galliano won this race last year from a mark just two-pounds lower than today's rating so, with a five-pound apprentice booked, could also go well. Icannshift is nudging back towards a winning mark, as is the disappointing Beauchamp Ribbon, but the former looks to have the better place claims. However, for the winner we return to Cristoforo, who can keep his good run going.
