Blatant has been a beaten favourite the last twice but should benefit from the step up in distance. Machito needs more but improvement can almost be guaranteed from CROSSTITCH, who was slowly away and ran green here last month but still showed signs of promise and finished ahead of favourite Sahoud. Espirito is progressing with experience while Mystical Applause should be noted for future reference being a half-brother to two winners.
