Plenty with claims in this but GREGARIOUS was beaten less than a length over 7f at Newmarket last month and normal progress should see him make a bold bid. Van Dyke was well ahead of Spinning Pearl when runner up over track and trip recently and Abbeyleix also made the frame here on his latest start and can figure. Like No Other may improve further stepping up in distance for this while Predilection found subsequent Listed winner King Of Rooks much too good back in May and is having his first start since.
