Hunting Tower gets the vote now dropped to a mile. Stablemate Cape Hawk rates a danger, along with Oceana Gold and First To Call. The selection has disappointed on his last two outings having previously made a pleasing reappearance at Windsor on similar ground to today's. All ground seems to come alike to this horse in the colours of the Queen so whatever the weather does it shouldn't pose a problem, and now back over his best trip he can go well at a price. First To Call and Shadow Wind are two unexposed sorts making their handicap debuts and both need a strong market check, as does Russki who has the blinkers on for the first time. Salient looks pretty exposed now, so of more interest may be Oceana Gold who went down fighting last time out and should still be competitive despite a 2lb rise in the weights. There are plenty in with claims here, however Hunting Tower gets the vote under Ryan Moore.
