Kynren is usually thereabouts at this level without winning and that was the case in last year’s renewal when beaten a neck. The 2016 winner Firmament finished third on that occasion and Danny Tudhope prefers Baltic Baron of David O’Meara’s four representatives today despite the latter finishing behind runner-up Vale Of Kent and Seniority in a valuable handicap at Goodwood earlier this month with What's The Story well beaten. Silver Line was raised 12lb after making a winning reappearance at Nottingham last month but Qaysar continues to improve and Arbalet could also go well at a price but another chance goes to PETRUS. Brian Meehan’s charge has shown further progress since landing the Spring Mile at Doncaster back in March and finished in front of both History Writer and Via Serendipity when third off today’s mark at Sandown last time.
