Pivotman is the only one of these to have won on the course and that was over 1m2f two years ago. GUARACHA isn't the most consistent of performers but his only victory came over this trip from the same mark at Sandown so a repeat of that should see him take this. Im Dapper Too ran well enough at Redcar last time to suggest he can go close, though this is a slightly higher grade, and though Virtual Reality is 9lb lower than when he started in handicaps in March this looks a difficult task for a three-year-old.
