FIVETWOEIGHT is very much unexposed and it might pay to forgive a below par run at Newmarket last time on soft ground. That was just his fourth start, and his turf debut/seasonal reappearance at Leicester previously was full of promise. He could easily improve on the likely sounder surface now and is worth risking. Cappananty Con was an AW last time but has no problems on turf and should go well while Field of Vision and Abiento are in good form and have their claims.
