Unit of Assessment is penalised after winning over 1m4f here but had finished behind My Brother Mike before that and ILHABELA FACT in December. The former also beat Gendarme and Royal Goldie when scoring over track and trip but collateral form gives him something to find with Tony Carroll’s charge. The latter failed to stay 2m here recently but gets the vote on his earlier course and distance success. Sir Prize is yet another recent course winner and should confirm running with Make Good while Baasha arrives on the back of winning over 1m2f at Chelmsford and is another with claims in an open contest.
