After failing by only a head on his debut at Newmarket last month, ASAID proved a shade disappointing when third at Bath on his latest start. He's given another chance here as he did have one of today's chief rivals in Tonnerre well behind last time. With the latter hard to fancy a bigger threat could be posed by the selection's stablemate and newcomer Wolf Heart, who cost 135,000gns and has a middle-distance pedigree, while breeding suggests Midnight Waltz could prove a different proposition over this longer trip. She finished a well beaten second over 1m1f here last month, but should be noted for any support in the betting.
