Regimented should improve with last week’s reappearance at Newmarket under his belt and Ryan Moore taking over the reins. He has the beating of Dubhe on running at Doncaster last year. Communique steps up in trip having placed at Chelmsford last month and is preferred to Running Cloud while Rich Identity should also go well on last year’s placed efforts over shorter distances. GLENCADAM MASTER was runner-up over 1m2f before winning at Kempton in October. He’s yet another Gosden inmate with leading claims and makes most appeal of these.
