Es Que Love was well backed on his reappearance at Pontefract and duly obliged. However, he may struggle to dominate these under a penalty. Amazing Storm stayed on strongly on his reappearance at Kempton but this drop in distance isn't certain to suit while Gatepost's last two runs have also been over further and he appears to have lost his way. Heeraat only beat one home in a Group 3 at Kempton in September but could be well handicapped here and Top Cop may also have a bit of scope, while Desert Philosopher won his maiden in Wolverhampton in October and looks the pick of Kevin Ryan's pair. RESPONSIVE went close off a similar mark at Doncaster in September and has the speed to cope with the shorter trip. She should give supporters a run for their money with Hughie Morrison's stable already among the winners, though Alejandro and Ballesteros generally kept better company as juveniles.
