The Warrior arrives in decent form and is 5lb lower than when fifth in this last year. Brighton winner Ateem ran poorly here last month while King of Nepal and Easy Tiger seem much better on the all-weather and the latter was behind Medieval when last seen on Turf. Sir Titan clearly likes it here but won’t get his own way out in front as Del Parco also likes to force the pace from the outset. The could set things up for a finisher and CHARLES MOLSON was finishing with a rare rattle behind Love Dreams here last month so gets the nod as Eagle Creek may just need this.
