WHO'STHEDADDY came good with a three-length win at Salisbury last week and has plenty of scope for further progress. Big McIntosh is more exposed but won with a bit in hand over a shorter trip here a week ago and should also go well. Chella Thriller went close on the Polytrack here last time but has yet to win on Turf while Megalala beat Santadelacruze over track and trip last month but the latter is weighted to turn the tables in this. The former is also closely matched with Tornado Battle on more recent running at Brighton while Just Because went close in a plating race at Windsor recently and can also figure.
