Kempton winner George Morland looks nice prospect having found only one too good at Salisbury on his Turf debut. Dark Company was a progressive sort last year but Ilza'eem has a bit to prove having finished last at Wolverhampton. Qaasid has been gelded since winning at Kempton in November but there is no reason why he won’t act on this surface. Bertie's Wish was too keen when chasing a hat-trick at Ascot while Invincibly went close over this trip at Redcar. Frankie can afford to pick and choose his mounts nowadays and SEVENAL (NAP) is his only ride. John Gosden’s improver easily landed the odds at Windsor, despite hanging left, and gets cheekpieces today to aid the steering.
