The application of first-time blinkers on Tanasoq doesn't surprise as he does give the impression he's not always putting it all in, frequently travelling well before not seemingly seeing his race out. He's an obvious place candidate but SOCIALITES RED has been in fine heart in recent weeks, twice obliging over course and distance. He remains feasibly treated and can go in again. Artscape is shortlist material as he remains a possible improver after six starts, having displayed a good attitude to prevail over this trip at Goodwood latest for which he's raised 6lb. Whitecrest looks in the grip of the handicapper at present after her winning spree in May but Sfumato remains a possible improver.
