Plenty with chances but HOW FAR is the choice. He remains a highly likely improver after just four starts, is progressing well with his racing and showed a sharp turn of foot to put his rivals to the sword at Windsor last time when upped to this trip for the first time. Blazed is one to keep a careful eye on and rates a significant danger. He was most disappointing on the artificial surface at Newcastle last time but his previous run when a good third at Ascot puts him at the heart of the equation here. Mr Wagyu is on an upward curve and respected but this looks a tougher assignment for the Quinn inmate. Tallinski, Meshardal and Bahuta Acha could all play a part and Athollblair Boy is not ruled out off topweight in an open contest.
