Epsom runner-up First Experience does most of his winning on the all-weather and northern raider Chaplin Bay has been struggling to win at a lower level but Koptoon appeared to see out the trip when second here last month and Sarangoo was only beaten half-a-length at Chepstow last week. Commodore and Doctor Bong are others to consider and Marcano is very consistent, though seems better over a mile. OUTBACK RULER will enjoy the going and is back on the same mark as when runner-up at Brighton in the spring. He could be the value in this as the company may be too hot for Great Fun and the three-year-old Danecase.
