Norisan lines up in good form and can win again, with Tufton, Sweet World and Russki the ones to give him most to do. This is yet another moderate affair on the card, and one that should be well within the scope of Norisan. Just 12 months ago, Richard Hannon's charge was contesting races like the Solario Stakes at Sandown, and lined up in the Classic Trial there this April. However, he has had to have his sights lowered considerably to open his account, and as victories at Newmarket and Salisbury in recent weeks have revealed, this is his level. With Ryan Moore on board yet again, he should take all the beating. Tufton needed all of 10-furlongs to land a Newbury claimer last time, and he will do very well to give weight and a beating to the selection, while Sweet World is certainly no better than this grade, and is dropped back in trip after two below-par efforts over 11-furlongs. Russki was never sighted in a class 4 handicap at Newmarket 18-days ago, and may also figure, but really, this represents a good opportunity for Norisan to add to his tally.
