Daniel Tudhope could afford to ease down MOROCCO in the closing stages at Doncaster last time and still win by over three lengths. His mount won't mind any cut in the ground and can defy a 6lb rise in the weights. Buster Brown looks unlikely to make up a five length deficit with the selection and Spanish Plume needs a longer trip to show his best nowadays. The last comment also applies to Wolverhampton winner Smirfy's Silver but Opus Maximus and Euston Square have a shout off their current marks.
