After winning over hurdles for Paul Nicholls, Advisor has re-joined Michael Bell and could figure on his return to the Flat. Classically and New Code are similar in that they have both shown good progress on the all-weather since last seen on turf and they too have claims but a chance is taken on BROUHAHA. He's been placed over shorter trips on the Polytrack this year but Tom Dascombe's charge won under an apprentice at this track last June and could start a decent price to do so again today. Saborido has done all his winning over further, but Kerchak and Ancient Greece have claims and Eshtyaaq has scope for improvement.
