Pacific Heights had a couple of subsequent winners behind when runner-up at Doncaster in November and should have no problem with the step up to a mile. He makes more appeal than Al Baidaa, Eagle Power and Nassau Storm if he does last the trip but one of the newcomers may prove good enough here. Class Win, Bryer and Mikdaar are worth keeping an eye on in the betting but Gold Edition makes more appeal given he's a half-brother to all-weather winner Ana Emarati. However, the speculative vote goes to NIMBLE THIMBLE, as she can count the high-class Three Valleys amongst six winning relatives and may be good enough at the first time of asking.
