This looks wide-open but David Loughnane runs a couple of likely sorts in San Quentin and Muqarred. Whozthecat has been in good form lately, though over shorter trips. San Cassiano is three from three on the course so shouldn't be ignored but LE DELUGE also has a good track record. Micky Hammond's charge was slowly away when favourite at Musselburgh last time and may be worth another chance. Tom's Rock opened his account at Windsor earlier this month and is lightly-raced. Jive Time is another three-year-old to consider but Niblawi has a penalty to carry for a narrow win at Bath and Ingleby Spring may find this company too tough.
