Most can be given a chance including Graceful James and Goodwood Showman, who filled the places at Lingfield last time with previous winner Arctic Sea further behind. Both Glorious Poet and Golden Guest finished runner-up over a mile on their latest starts with the former preferred but another recent second in ROSARNO gets the nod. He was having his first start since June when finding only one too good at Chelmsford and won off today’s mark last year. Priscilla's Dream scored over 7f at Wolverhampton back in July and Skydiving is another with something to prove over today’s longer trip.
