Mengli Khan showed some promise when third at Newmarket and Antioco ran well again at Chelmsford without threatening the winner. BROROCCO made only a modest debut but is seemingly well regarded as he ran in the Group 3 Solario Stakes at Sandown last time and will find life much easier in this. Newcomers to note for any strong support include the 600,000gns half-brother to six winners Across The Stars, Sennockian Song and Daqeeq but West Drive is in the Racing Post Trophy and makes more appeal.
