GREATGADIAN is still learning his job but improves with every run and the extra quarter-mile is almost certainly in his favour given he had to be nudged along to remain competitive over a mile at Windsor on his reappearance. Siskany also makes his handicap debut and the Godolphin colt arrives on a hat-trick having made all over this trip at Windsor. He looks a big danger but Pure Bubbles will need to show improvement for a gelding operation while conditions may not be ideal for the free-going Possible Man. Something Enticing won on good to soft at Nottingham, however, though this looks a much tougher assignment.
