Former Ballydoyle inmate and Dundalk winner Lastofthemohicans has his first run for Paul Webber and may need it, while French import Love Over Gold posted a shocker last time but has claims on his earlier effort at Salisbury. Hawaana is not without a chance dropping back in trip and George Adamson will appreciate the ease in class, but the vote goes to MASHAAREF. He's also dropping down a grade having found only All Action too good at Ascot last time with today's rival Vimiero behind. Roger Varian's colt can find the improvement necessary to take this. Quanah Parker was engaged to run at Beverley yesterday and needs some cut in the ground anyway.
