This looks tricky but Moscato has a touch of class and won first-time out last season, though Sir Mark Prescott's string has yet to strike form. Matorico got going too late at York and maybe the Ascot Stakes next month would be a more viable target while Gabrial's King was doing his best work at the finish when fifth in the Chester Cup. MY REWARD only found one too good stepping up to 2m at Ripon and finished ahead of both Gabrial's King and Saved By The Bell. A 3lb rise has done him no favours but he probably has more scope than most over this trip. Vive Ma Fille is starting to come down the weights and, with trip and going in her favour, can't be ignored.
