KING OF FASHION won his maiden here in January and has yet to finish out of the frame in four visits to the track. Though well beaten in a Listed event at Perth in the spring, this is a more realistic target. Isaacstown Lad won over 2m4f on heavy going here in February and stays this longer trip so looks a threat. Hello George hasn't had much racing in the last few years but won in this grade at Newbury in March while Kris Spin is well treated on past form. Falcons Fall is a likely improver this winter but Little Bruce has an alternative engagement at Wetherby.
