Brouhaha was just touched at Epsom last month but has gone back up in the weights again since and will probably find at least one too good again here. That one may be BLACK COFFEE, who left previous turf form well behind when scoring on soft ground at Redcar last time and has won off this higher mark on the Polytrack. He appears to have the beating of the disappointing Sirgarfieldsobers on the form book and should also prove too strong for Jupiter Fidius, who struggles to last home over this trip. Mighty Clarets will have needed last month's run at Thirsk and can't be dismissed on his best form, though the going is a worry here.
