Well beaten in Group 1 in Italy last time, Energia Davos won a Group 3 at Newmarket in October but has yet to win in 10 attempts on the all-weather. The progressive MINDUROWNBUSINESS will likely prove too good in this as Roger Varian's colt looked to be still improving when winning a Chelmsford handicap in good style last week and is worth another try over this longer trip. Battalion won a Listed contest over today's distance at Goodwood in September and the course and distance winner looks a threat but Ansaab has it all to do on these terms.
