Star Rover, Luscivious and Feelin Foxy have it all to do at the weights on today's terms, but the latter should at least ensure a decent pace, which is what PISCEAN needs to show his best. Tom Keddy's charge never got into a messy affair won by Silaah at Kempton last time and finished fourth. But he picks up well in a truly run race and can reverse form with runner-up Brave Prospector to take this. The latter should make another bold bid but Atlantic Story doesn't win very often these days and is much better over a longer trip anyway.
