Entered in next month’s Racing Post Trophy, GRAFFITI MASTER (NAP) may not be up to that level but should improve with a recent debut fourth over 7f at Sandown under his belt and steps up in trip along with the rest of the field. Baileys Excelerate is another likely to stay given he won over an extended 7f at Beverley last month while Trogon should also get home over today’s distance having already placed over a mile. Harbour Nights is related to a middle-distance winner and a newcomer to note.
