Last month's Warwick winner Prodigality came up short in this grade again last time but York Glory is perfectly at home at this level. The latter scored at Pontefract last month with Singeur back in fifth. Nocturn is on the up but facing his most difficult task to date having landed a recent double at Windsor. TAROOQ makes more appeal as he notched up five straight wins on the all-weather last winter and can race off a 10lb lower mark back on this surface. Stuart Williams' charge is preferred to Mississippi and Farlow, though the latter's stablemate El Viento has a shout and Louis The Pious could also get involved. Secret Witness won this last year but is 9lb higher today.
