Island House proved that he is well suited by this trip nowadays when landing a Listed event at Leicester last month and was far from disgraced behind Millenary in a Group 2 over this course and distance at the July meeting. Geoff Wragg's charge should go well despite his penalty while Warrsan has progressed well this term and sets the standard after a smart performance in the Gold Cup last time. Travelmate has had his problems but retains his enthusiasm however, along with Capal Garmon, he may find this an inadequate test of stamina.
