Dairerin won first-time-out at Ripon in May and ended the campaign in Group 3 company in France. The lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem though he's never run on an all-weather surface. NEPTUNE LEGEND led to the final furlong over the trip at Kempton but couldn't hold the challenge of the in-form Spirit Of Nguru with subsequent winner Vespasian back in third. Hugo Palmer's charge can make his race-fitness count though Straits Of Moyle has looked as though stepping up to this trip would suit in recent starts over 6f. Devasboy led for a long way over a mile here a week ago but will need to step-up on that form.
