OKEANOS was in fine form on the all-weather earlier in the year and won a higher grade handicap than this at Wolverhampton in April. He should prove equally effective on Turf and go close. Biplane won over a longer trip at Newcastle last month and can figure while Kats Bob is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best form.
