Im Ova Ere Dad has been running consistently well on the Polytrack all year and has to be respected but Don Cantillon's gelding may prefer an extra furlong to show his best form and a better bet looks to be Titan Triumph, with Teasing rated the pick of the remainder. The selection is less exposed than most of these, has run well on his only previous start on the surface and his latest start on turf can be discounted as the ground was far too testing. Mumaathel should improve for his recent reappearance run, while Perfect Treasure has claims on the pick of his form but may be a shade high in the weights. Satyricon represents a yard that has their runners in good form right now so could be better than recent efforts suggest, although a bigger threat may come from Teasing. Jeff Pearce's filly has been running well on the Polytrack of late and a reproduction of recent form would see her go close but she may just be a shade high in the weights now. The vote then goes to the lightly raced Titan Triumph who is taken to resume winning ways.
