Moon of Baroda is a maiden on Turf but has won over 2m on Tapeta and was placed over hurdles over the winter. He’s had wind surgery since last seen and is an interesting runner in this. Denmead has won twice over timber for Dan Skelton since last seen on the level and won’t fail through lack of stamina. Oleg is also from a top NH yard and he won at Southwell in March while Anyonecanhaveitall did well last season, winning three times. SEINESATIONAL (NAP) was only beaten a neck over 2m4f at Goodwood last summer and can be forgiven a subsequent run in the Cesarewitch on ground that was too soft. He won on his reappearance last year so everything points to a bold showing from Bill Knight’s stayer.
