Come Out Fighting appreciated the return to faster ground when back to form at Newmarket last time and looks the one they all have to beat despite a 3lb rise for his defeat behind Bee Eater that day, getting the verdict ahead of High Curragh and Pretty Majestic. The last mentioned is on a fair mark and is less exposed than most of these so has to be respected back on more suitable ground. Bo McGinty has been holding his form under more testing conditions of late and handles fast ground as well so should be thereabouts again, while Holbeck Ghyll has struggled against the handicapper for some time and may have to settle for minor honours again. Mujood has held his form well of late but is another that may be a shade high in the weights now and of more interest may be High Curragh who looks to be going the right way. The ground has come right for Come Out Fighting though and he is taken to gain a deserved success.
