Border Legend finished ahead of Ajman Bridge when fourth over 1m4f at Windsor last time and both need more to figure in this. Insaany won over today's trip at Newmarket but is raised in class off a higher mark while Enobled is not certain to stay today's longer trip. Kastini's saddle slipped at Sandown last time and has claims on his earlier form that included a win over course and distance, but a speculative vote goes the way of BURANO. He's slipped 11lb down the weights since racing at Meydan early in the year and could run a big race dropped in class for this.
