THESIS will likely prove a warm order in this having finished runner-up at Newbury on his reappearance. He can open his account with Ryan Moore on board once again. Awaal placed over 7f at Wolverhampton on his debut and should stay this extra distance while the latter comment also applies to Vazire, third here in December. Heathen and the returning Medrara look best of the rest.
