A wide-open heat in which HIGHFALUTING may be more progressive than most after five runs. Improving nicely since joining James Eustace, he should go close returned to good ground over which he produced his best run when a close third on his penultimate start. This step-up to 1m4f is expected to prove beneficial. Singing The Blues is enjoying a tremendous year with no sign that the handicapper has got proper hold of him. Another prominent showing is due off a new mark of 72. Murhib is interesting from a form perspective but having a first run on Turf in 13 starts for his yard at the age of seven is a concern. Simbirsk and Champs De Reves, closely matched, have place claims.
