FOUR MILE BEACH has placed in all three starts on the all-weather this year and Mark Johnston's charge may prove good enough in this. Brorocco is weighted to beat the selection on today's terms but has his first start since October and Newmarket third Folly Bergere makes more appeal representing last year's winning yard. Sir Michael Stoute runs Du Moto, who should have no problem with this extra distance having posted a couple of modest efforts last season.
