Course regular Rockley Point won this in 2019 but still looks a shade high in the weights given recent placed efforts. Gigi's Beach was narrowly beaten over track and trip last time and has every chance again but there looks more to come from THAKI. The latter showed a big improvement on his first outing after wind surgery when beaten a length at Wolverhampton and can race off the same mark for this. Glorious Charmer has been thereabouts off today’s mark recently and makes more appeal than Shamarouski of the rest.
