U S S Missouri was placed over 7f here last time and can figure along with Lingfield runner-up Blame Culture. But RACING COUNTRY also showed promise at Goodwood on his debut and the Godolphin colt may come out best dropping down in trip for this. Newcomers to keep an eye on include Gaudi, a half-brother to winners on the all-weather, while Perpetrator can include Pattern winners among his nine winning relatives. Ad Libitum and Convinced are others to note.
