C'est No Mour would be more than capable of playing a part in a race like this if fully wound-up and likewise Frontispiece, who has undergone wind surgery since last seen. Durrell was a shade keen at Newmarket and is capable of better but Buriram’s best runs last year came on soft going. Mayfair Spirit has to go on the shortlist from a stable going well with the lightly-raced Maiden Castle likely to be winning sooner rather than later. MORDRED has been in good form on Polytrack and a switch back to Turf won’t faze Richard Hannon’s colt, who gets the nod.
