It's too soon to write off Net Whizz after disappointing when a losing favourite at Newbury but Ocean Tempest makes more appeal. The latter finished a respectable third in a higher grade race at Epsom last time and should be in the firing-line on that evidence. However, PATEGONIA has the most scope on the back of an easy win at Lingfield and it's John Gosden's charge that gets the vote. Take A Note should improve on his comeback run at Brighton but will need to if he's to figure while Graphic is likely to attract support with Ryan Moore on board but has something to prove over today's trip.
