All have decent claims in this but TARBOOSH has struck a rich vein of form and impressed in the manner of his stylish Hamilton success earlier this month. This is tougher but he's hard to oppose at present. Bengali Boys receives the age allowance and last year's Weatherbys Super Sprint winner is dangerous as he makes his return to the fray following a gelding operation. Soie D'leau has not been at his best the last twice whereas Blue De Vega bounced right back to from in impressive fashion last time when landing a competitive Ascot handicap and looks the main danger on that evidence.

Tarboosh 9-4jfav (9-1) Tracked leaders going well, headway to lead 1f out, pushed clear inside final furlong, ran on, readliy, won at Hamilton 5f stks (3) gd in Aug beating Tanasoq (9-5) by 2l, 5 ran.
