Another small field and only LUHAIF is really guaranteed to enjoy this surface. He chased home the rejuvenated Balducci at Nottingham last time and, though beaten six lengths, can go one better here. Mishrif won at Southwell in April but has only scored once on Turf and that was on soft going while Hot Mustard's victory over track and trip last month came on good to soft. Rouge Nuage may need further help from the handicapper if he's to get his head in front on Turf.
