Corrybrough is entitled to need this so ANICEN REGIME gets the tentative vote whilst Matsunosuke could go well at a price. There's plenty to look forward to with Henry Candy's Corrybrough who has had to miss the first half of the season with injuries and the trainer is capable of producing him to score at the first time of asking so the market should be revealing. This is no penalty kick for his return though and the consistent Ancien Regime is preferred as he's been running creditably this season and his yard has been in fine form. This is his first run on this surface though so his ability to act on it has to be taken on trust unlike Matsunosuke who has his work cut out on the figures but is four from nine at the track. Judd Street has also gone well here in the past so could give a good account whilst official ratings make Cat Junior the one to beat although he has been off since disappointing at Nad Al Sheba in March. An intriguing contest where Ancien Regime is the call.
