James Tate sent out last year's winner and CAPE OF GLORY is expected to act on the Fibresand. The latter came good over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time and can defy a penalty on his handicap bow. Masqueraded ended last year with a couple of wins in plating races over shorter trips while Khismet has also won a claimer over a mile. Luath landed a handicap over the latter distance here last time but is upped a grade and Jarir showed little in three starts last term.
