All of these step up in trip including Liverpool Knight, a losing favourite over 1m2f at Lingfield. He's A Dream posted a better effort here on his first start gelded and may figure but SHENU steps up from a mile having made a promising start when third to an odds-on favourite at Newcastle on his debut. The latter’s sire, American Pharoah, won the Belmont Stakes over today’s distance so a chance is taken David Simcock’s colt lasts home. Atacamena is a likely improver and the newcomer She Is Fierce is bred for middle-distances.
