Moosir had Simple Attack back in third when scoring over a mile earlier this month. He shot into the lead at this trip and looks certain to get into contention. He has to concede 9lb to Perfect Sense, an easy winner at Jebel Ali last month, but looks capable of doing so. However, a chance is taken with TRENCHARD, who could eventually prove better class then these. He won at Kempton for John Gosden last April and though unraced subsequently Mike De Kock knows how to get one ready. His stable companion Guernsey hasn't shown much since arriving from the USA but is another who should probably do better.
