An import from France, ALMOST YOU (NAP) made a winning start for new connections here and did well to go close at Lingfield last time given she was hampered early in the race. She gets another chance with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Temur Khan has finished runner-up the last twice without looking like catching the winner while Petit Bay and Thermal return to action having both won over 1m2f last year. Famous Dynasty is usually thereabouts without winning while Savitar steps up from a mile.
