Mishghar was still beaten six lengths when runner-up at Newmarket but the soft ground may have been a hindrance. Azilian finished closer over track and trip last time while Atwix was only beaten a length over 1m2f here on her latest start. Milky Way won in soft ground last term but never figured on his belated reappearance at Epsom so a chance is taken on another making late start to the season. TADPOLE (NAP) steps up in trip but is a half-sister to smart stayer Harris Tweed as well as a Group 1 winner over 1m4f in Australia and may be up to landing this.
