A wide-open nursery and a purely speculative vote goes to KYLLASIE. Ryan Moore takes over the reins for his handicap debut and Richard Hannon won this in 2009. Mitie Mouse found life tough in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time but has claims on his earlier win at Kempton, while Gin Twist has gone close in a couple of similar events and has the beating of Dark Ages. Stepper Point can't be discounted on last month's second at Warwick and Mister Musicmaster has improved with every start.
