Aside from a poor run in the Britannia at Ascot, Maputo is holding his form well and ran out an easy winner at Newmarket last time. He makes more appeal than stablemates Mister Impatience and Alta Lilea but CRUCK REALTA may prove more difficult to beat. Outclassed in the Group 1 Pretty Polly at the Curragh last time, this is more her level and Mick Channon's Newbury Listed winner can go close. Irish raider Hold The Line is given another chance in this grade after a running no sort of race at Leopardstown on his latest start.
