HATHLOOL won easily from subsequent winner Shaladar here last month and may not have been suited by a quick turnaround at York a week later so gets the nod to bounce back. Star Shield scrambled home in a lower-grade event at Ayr while Rich Waters has been disappointing since a winning debut at Kempton. Newmarket winner Giovanni Baglione finished last of three back there last month while Astral Beau hasn't quite made the expected progress after a debut success on this track. Temper Trap's two recent victories came in Class 6 handicaps.
