Voyageofdiscovery looked to be travelling like a winner over a mile last week but was caught in the closing stages. This shorter trip will suit and he should go well despite a big weight. SHABRA EMPEROR (NAP) also finished runner-up over the same trip at that meeting when 4lb higher than tonight when the favourite Windsorlot was close behind. The assessor has given the former a chance, especially with his rider's claim to aid his cause, so he looks the one to be on. Stamp Of Authority ran an excellent race over this trip a couple of days earlier but he's yet to win on the surface while Dea Dia looks as though she needs further.
