Today's mile could prove a stumbling block for several of these. Desert Dreamer is a multiple winner on Polytrack but has yet to score over the trip and Silver Guest's three victories to date have been over shorter distances. A 7f winner here, So Surreal has been well beaten in all four starts over today's trip and the vote goes to KIPCHAK. A five-time winner over C&D, Conor Dore's charge has a bit to find on official ratings but his ability to stay the distance should stand him in good stead.
