This looks anybody's race with Anglophile beating CASTILO DEL DIABLO a length over 1m4f here earlier and going close again since. But David Simcock's charge is proven over today's longer trip and is taken to reverse running on better terms. Uramazin finished behind both of the above here last month but has subsequently won over 2m at Kempton and can also figure while Dashing Star is not out of this if lasting home on his first start since November. Triumphant has been hurdling but is not easily dismissed on September's placed effort at Goodwood and is preferred to Smoky Hill.
