Just Us Two was only headed close home and finished half-a-length ahead of Manofmanytalents when second at Sandown last month. He must have a leading chance in a modest opener but we might give another chance to KILL OR CURE. Charlie Hills' colt hinted that a drop in distance would benefit last time at Newbury and he has the beating of Krazy Paving on the form book. Able Spirit and Muhaarib Al Emarat have already been beaten in a nursery and lack scope.
