A far from enticing contest with many reverting to grass after plying their trade on artificial surfaces. KINGSDINE is hopefully recommended in that he's a proven turf performer but the concern is that he's only been seen once since putting together a fine series of efforts last spring and summer. He needed the outing at Windsor but is a player if recapturing last year's form. Galatian hasn't scored over this trip but his finishing effort last time behind Norville suggests seven furlongs is within his compass. He's a possible, likewise Elusive Hawk if the market speaks in his favour given his connections. The Happy Hammer has claims on his polytrack form but hasn't beaten an opponent in three visits to headquarters.
