Expect a blistering pace as quite a few like to blast away from the gate. REGAL ENVOY tried to make all over 6f here last time but was headed around the furlong marker so should appreciate a drop back to the minimum trip. Astral Beat certainly made all at Newcastle and has every chance of backing up, despite a 6lb hike in the weights. Miss Anaco and stablemate Devon Envoy are preferred in that order while Peggoty is a possible improver.
