Salutation won the Rosebery at Kempton on his reappearance but then finished last back on Turf at Epsom. Viewpoint is 7lb higher than when winning at Lingfield while this may be too far for Bancnuanaheireann. Asbaab could be one to follow this year, however, while a similar comment applies to Elhaame. Café Society was a consistent sort last season and looks the pick of David Simcock's two runners. AMRALAH is 7lb higher than when beating Urban Dance and recent Lingfield winner Van Percy over course and distance last season and has only run once since. But he's clearly suited by fast ground and could have more to offer this season.
