Epic Battle ran better than his latest eighth at Ascot infers but Qanan's best form has been on the Polytrack. Dandy showed some fight to hold on for the win at Bath last time and has been raised only 2lb but All Talk N No Do steps up in distance having been well beaten in better company at Newmarket. Alex Vino produced a decent effort on his handicap bow at Leicester in April but hasn't raced since. CARNEVALE also ran well on her handicap debut at the same track last time when splitting a couple of subsequent winners to take third place. She rates the selection on that form with the promise of more to come.
