Spirit Dancer tends to need a run but he has a pretty good record over track and trip and the drying ground is very much in his favour. Placed at Goodwood and Newbury off today’s mark last year, Moktasaab wasn’t given a hard time on his return to action at Newmarket and will strip fitter here but STAY WELL goes well fresh and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye. Diderot looks an all-weather specialist but a case can be made for Masekela running in his first handicap and Nobel remains unexposed while Eeetee is a previous course and distance winner who won at Haydock on his reappearance.
