A few of these would have been happier with a few hurdles to negotiate. NEVERBEEN TO PARIS (NAP) is one but he made such giant strides over timber earlier this year that it’s not unreasonable to expect he’ll translate some of that improvement back to the Flat. He won over 1m2f on similar going at Beverley last year and is only 2lb than when successful on Turf at Lingfield later. Ravenous ran well to be only beaten a length at Chester and Dono di Dio never seems to run a bad race, though is upped in trip. Talent To Amuse ran well in a couple of hurdle races after returning from a break while Master Grey likes it here. Steaming and Emenem are others to consider at the weights.
