TROOPINGTHECOLOUR has his first run on Tapeta but has a good strike rate on Polytrack, winning four times. He hasn't raced since June but usually competes at a much higher level and should have too much class for these if anywhere near fully wound-up. Archipeligo and Carragold have to give the selection 4lb but Jamhoori could be interesting eased in grade, though a bigger danger is possibly the three-year-old Shaw Ting who didn't run badly in a handicap here last month.
