Daring Article won this a year ago and continued to go well subsequently. He's 11lb higher and ran poorly on his return but don't be surprised by a return to form. His stablemate Oscars Business is returning from a break and doesn't look well handicapped at present but Kashline's connections can't complain after a 6lb rise for last month's victory over track and trip. Snooze, who was four lengths behind in that latter race, was having his first start since April and with that under his belt and a weight advantage he's taken to reverse the form and get into the frame. FOXROCK is a class act and can make a successful handicap debut despite a big weight. Ted Walsh' charge won two Grade 2 novice events at the beginning of the year and made a very satisfactory reappearance over hurdles last month. He can give the weight away before heading for better things. Grand Jesture is another likely to be seen in better company later as his second behind Chartreux at the Festival here in May was a superb effort and Johnny Burke's claim is a bonus.
