Egyptian Lord, Hypnosis, Garlogs and Nusoor are a handful against the field in a competitive race and the narrow nomination is given to Egyptian Lord. The selection won well last time out and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and with his yard in form he is taken to defy the handicapper. Hypnosis rates the main danger on his best form but he is hard to win so he can't be backed with too much confidence. Nusoor hails from the same stable as the selection and is another with place claims but he looks the second-string on jockey bookings and looks opposable on that basis. Garlogs is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind the selection and although he is better off at the weights his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Egyptian Lord is clearly improving and he can get his head in front again.
