Pushkin Museum has the advantage of Simon Walker in the saddle but he's never won beyond the minimum trip and not at all since 2014. OOR JOCK was having his 18th start on an all-weather surface when gaining his first victory over 7f here earlier this month but he's won four times on Turf and has no problems dropping down in trip so can go in again. Mr Chuckles' two runs on this track recently were his best so far on an artificial surface so he's respected but Lightsome has been tried in all kinds of headgear and a visor is applied here. Tribesman started off last year off a mark of 74 and is now 21lb lower. He's dropped to a mark he should be winning from soon so has to be on the short-list.
