Another tricky puzzle to solve but it would be no surprise to see a big run from Robert Guiscard, who has only had one run on the all-weather so far. Late Arrival has had only two career starts at Newmarket and has shown ability in both but Today Power is on the verge of becoming disappointing. Alveda and Licit may have more to offer and a case can be made for Mayson Mount, Mabre and Glen Esk but a tentative vote goes to SIBERIAN NIGHT, who was a winner here in December and clearly short of match practice at Yarmouth last month.
