SOHO THEATRE has had a few chances but we will give him one more to score with Dettori up, while The Rectifier and Krymian are the likely dangers. The selection ran with plenty of credit over this trip at Lingfield last time, going down by just half a length. He acts on fast ground on turf, and he can build on that effort with the stable going well enough, and hopefully prove the one to be on here. The Rectifier is officially rated 3lbs higher than the selection after three promising maiden runs on good or fast ground. There is surely room for improvement and he is likely to be heavily involved. Krymian represents powerful connections and went close to winning on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton in September. This is his first try on fast ground, but pedigree suggests that he will act on it and he has more going for him than most of them here. Togoaviking should improve a fair bit for his Lingfield introduction but might want softer ground to be seen to best effect and preference is for Soho Theatre.
