Fennell Bay will need a big improvement on his debut at Kempton if he's to figure, though Onebytheknows has given the impression today's longer trip will suit. Ctappers also has a bit to find racing on fast ground for the first time and FREE HOUSE looks a safer option having finished closer at Sandown last time. First-time blinkers could bring further progress and he's preferred to Teide Peak, whose yard won both divisions of this race in 2008 and Grey Mirage, who is related to a high-class multiple winner in Italy.
