Curious Carlos should be approaching peak fitness and is starting to look well treated. Gone Platinum goes well here and is in form so will be hard to keep out of the frame but UNO MAS (NAP) was superbly placed to win six times last season over distance ranging from 2m to 3m2f. He’s only gone up 3lb for landing a competitive handicap at Cheltenham last month and looks the one to beat again. Master Dancer has the past form to figure but has become a little disappointing of late.
