The profile of Envisaging is not straightforward but he couldn't have won more impressively when last seen under today's apprentice and will be in the shake-up if in a similar vein of form. Key Player is entitled to respect despite conceding weight all round and Fabulist has proved a little hit and miss of late but has claims on the best of this season's form. Sooner or later Atletico, despite not being the force of old, will get things right off his current mark but the choice is DELILAH PARK (NAP). The mare's ideal conditions appear to be 7f at this track and she was only caught in the final strides here latest. Northern raider, Kapono, is an each-way possible.
