This is trappy and all are respected. Myristica receives plenty of weight from her elders and boasts a recent course and distance win but Man Of The Night makes a first start for his new stable so it may just be worth adopting a watching brief. BARYSHNIKOV needs delivering late but has already won on a track which usually suits front-runners and Connor Beasley should be able to produce him late in this small field. Dream With Me is eased in grade while Howzer Black is consistent at this level and Benadalid usually reserves his best for here.
