Demonstrate, who found six-furlongs too sharp last time, will appreaciate a return to this trip, but he looks up against it giving weight away to what look a couple of decent three-year-olds. Birjand, ran well enough on her debut to warrant respect, but the vote goes to Alqhutub, who found Hero's Journey too good at Newbury.
