King Of The Night is a decent novice and still had every chance when falling in a conditionals' race at The Festival - it would be no surprise if he gained some measure of compensation here. Monetary Fund hasn't really proved himself over this longer trip while stablemate Strategic Gale returns from a long break here, as does Extreme Conviction. Mohanad won on the all-weather earlier this month and could go well back over timber but there's every chance that Newbury fifth SUNLEY PEACE will improve now tackling a longer trip. Gary Moore's seven-year-old was a thorough stayer on the level and can take advantage of his light weight in this.
