Galician went close in a Listed event at Lingfield last month with Enrol not beaten far in fourth. But both have a bit to find on today's terms with the principal contenders. That includes Graphic, who arrives in fine fettle having won four of his last five starts with his victory in a handicap at Nottingham last time the most impressive. He's not easily overlooked but TULLIUS also has strong claims. Andrew Balding's charge was beaten less than a length by Penitent in a Listed event at Newmarket earlier this month and has won two of his three starts on Polytrack. Sirius Prospect could only manage third in last year's renewal and carries a penalty this time round, as does Solar Deity, fifth in a handicap at Lingfield last Saturday.
