Bumper winner Tricksofthetrade is easily the pick of the older horses but this his first run since May and he's likely to find a few of his younger rivals too strong. Eagle Rock has already been placed here and at Newcastle and the step up to 1m4f should suit but preference is for YASIR. The Godolphin colt was only beaten half-a-length over this trip at Folkestone on his second start and this looks a little less competitive. Newcomer Eyedoro may be best of the rest.
