DUELLING DRAGON is generally better on ground with some give but has been placed on a quicker surface and could be worth an interest in this if a first-time visor gets him back to the form he showed when successful at Leicester in the spring. Zampa Manos is another with decent claims but Prim And Proper steps up a grade after her second at Chester, though is back over her winning trip. Conry is on the downgrade while this could be too tough for Toymaker so Starwatch may be the pick of the remainder.
