Plenty come here with acceptable claims including a Sir Mark Prescott project in William Of Orange who ran a cracker behind Notarised at Goodwood latest and should be well suited by the additional quarter of a mile now. He has his fair share of weight though and we'll take a chance that Irish raider, ESHTIAAL can handle this significant step-up in trip as he was noted staying on strongly over 1m4f at the Curragh last time. Previously, he'd been in fine form over timber and this is always a yard to be feared when crossing the water. Knightly Escapade scored with plenty in hand at Newcastle and although this is tougher is expected to go well, with Saved By The Bell, a brave winner here last time, also well respected. Spectator is another tackling 2m for the first time but he's a progressive animal who will be a danger to all if getting home in what is a really competitive affair.
