Most of these have been in action at the Carnival though the two highest rated, Red Jazz and Premio Loco, are returning from breaks. The latter has experience of the surface having run well behind Gloria De Campeao here last February. Crowded House has the unwanted record of never having won since the 2008 Racing Post Trophy but has been contesting high-class events throughout and is no forlorn hope. I Want Revenge hasn't quite made the expected surge since landing a Grade 1 on dirt at Aqueduct two years ago but ran well at that level at Gulfstream last time and connections have been very bullish all week. Skysurfers didn't look much better than Listed class in the UK but won over the C&D last February before going on to finish third in this. He produced an even better effort to beat a high-class field in the trial for this last month and will take some beating, though, as with the impressive Grade 2 winner Rileyskeepingfaith, he has been badly treated by the draw. IMBONGI was in superb form here a year ago and hasn't been quite wound up in his two starts this term. He'll be spot-on here and gets the vote in an open contest.
