Elsaabiqaat finished ahead of London Rock at Salisbury two runs ago but never looked like catching Across The Sea when favourite at Ffos Las last time, though is 7lb better off. Tinto got off the mark at Brighton earlier this month but is poorly drawn and finished behind LI KUI here earlier and is worse off at the weights. Paul Cole’s juvenile will need luck in-running from stall six but has solid form for this level so is preferred to handicap debutant Superseded, who runs over the minimum for the first time. Swiss Pride is eased in grade after a fair fourth at Goodwood so may be the pick of the remainder.
