Es Que Love will pop-up in one of these competitive handicaps before long but Sam Sharp has already done so. He scored at York last month and has been upped the usual 6lb. This is much tougher than Askaud's recent victories at Leicester and he's also 6lb higher to boot but Shebebi is not easily dismissed back over the mile trip. Both Godolphin runners have a chance on the book but neither have raced since taking part at Meydan earlier in the year while Trial Blaze needs to dig a bit deeper if he's to score off his current mark. KITTEN ON THE RUN is the interesting one in this. He hasn't set the world alight in a couple of starts over 1m2f for Luca Cumani but was a multiple winner in Italy over today's distance and we could see a different animal today.
