Fire Fighting is upped a further 5lb for winning at Newmarket last week and beat OASIS FANTASY a neck at Goodwood last month. But the latter re-opposes on better terms today and Ed Dunlop’s charge may be the one to side with in this. Master The World steps back up in trip after a good effort in a Group 3 at Salisbury and Scrutinise went close in this grade at Doncaster last time. Bermondsey went out like a light over 1m4f at Ascot but won easily over track and trip before that while Goodwood Mirage steps up in class after scoring here last time. Baydar remains unexposed but this is much tougher than his latest win at Newmarket.
