Mister Mister has won his last two and has only been raised 4lb so a hat-trick is not out of the question. Gentleman Moore has been knocking on the door but Fact Flow hasn’t really threatened since placing the last twice. Alto Des Mottes is hard to catch right and Day Of Roses probably has enough weight at present so this looks a good opportunity for AQUARIAN (NAP), who was a close-up third on his chasing bow at Carlisle behind a subsequent winner. He was staying on that day so the extra yardage here will suit.
