This is a moderate claimer so it would be no great surprise to see one of the newcomers successful. The ex-Irish Taroum showed some promise on the Flat but it's COUNT OF TUSCANY, who has a Kempton success to his credit from just six starts on the level, who can take this for Charles Egerton. Supernoverre hasn't been getting home over longer trips and should be suited by this return to better ground and the four-year-old Second Brook showed his first sign of ability when staying on over 2m1f at Huntingdon last time. Ask The Oracle is plating class and Magnitude has been running poorly on the Flat recently.
