Military Law has been gelded since beating subsequent winners in soft ground at Newbury over a year ago. He's penalised for that success on his belated return and also steps up in trip. Rated 82, MAINSAIL ATLANTIC looks a safer proposition having been beaten only a neck in a Class 3 handicap over track and trip last month and James Fanshawe's colt gets the nod to open his account. The remainder with experience make no appeal on these terms but Queen Of Paris is related to a Group 1 winner in Australia and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
