Ryan Moore was on board when Blue Mist won over 7f at Ascot last summer and the latter has undergone recent wind surgery while Path Of Thunder completed a double over 7f back in 2019. King Ottokar also last won in 2019 but Fantasy Believer scored at Kempton last month and REPERTOIRE won on the all-weather on his debut for David O’Meara. Beaten only a length at Ascot last time, the latter remains unexposed for his age and gets the vote. Vintager slips further down the weights and is preferred to Plantadream of the rest.
