Moss Vale is given the vote here with Bali Royal put forward as the biggest danger in a competitive event. The selection has a Group One entry and is very well-regarded by his connections. He won in decisive fashion despite going left when he jumped out of the stalls at Haydock last time, and as he is still improving he will be difficult to beat. Bali Royal probably needed the run on her seasonal reappearance at Kempton behind Boogie Street, and although she is likely to do better here she is better over 5 furlongs and for that reason is opposed. Repertory would have chances on the pick of his form but he has never won over this trip so is readily opposed. Of the remainder, Kings Point looked to have a big future last season but has failed to live up to expectations so far but he remains of interest. However, Moss Vale sets a high standard here and is the one they all have to beat.
