Mark Johnston won this last year and Turbine is preferred to stablemates Dawaa, Galesburg and Heraldic after winning at Newcastle. Ian Fleming is progressing well and bids for a hat-trick after winning at Chester last time but Oh This Is Us has a 9lb hike to contend as he also chases a treble. Alqubbah and Arab Poet were both placed on their latest starts and Strong Challenge returns to action having won his maiden here last year. Haalick ran well for third in an all-weather championship race at Lingfield in March and can figure but ZHUI FENG gets the nod. Well beaten in the 2000 Guineas, Amanda Perrett’s colt is better judged on the form of his earlier third at Newmarket when less than a length behind subsequent Listed winner Thikriyaat - the runner-up has also won a handicap since to further boost the form.
