Sarando has been in form over timber but when last seen on the level from 2lb higher he was soundly beaten so others make more appeal. The one that takes the eye the most is EAGLE NEBULA whose last run over course and distance resulted in a length defeat off this mark and a similar effort would be enough. Boucheron is an interesting contender on best form and is lightly raced this season while Blackmore is unexposed and open to improvement now in handicaps under an in form pilot. This trip seems a stamina stretch for King Supreme so this can go to Eagle Nebula.
