Grandmaster Flash has never won on Turf and the returning Arabescato is also best on the all-weather. A winner over this trip on fast going, ALPINE STROLL just came up short last time at Nottingham and can go one better today as Udaberri still has stamina to prove while Dark Mystery has run poorly the last twice. Wholeofthemoon finally got his head in front over 2m at Kempton 10 days ago but will need to defy a 4lb rise to complete the double.
