This looks competitive but it's been run five times and four favourites have won. Mountain Range is superbly handicapped at his best but has hardly picked his feet up recently while Tight Lipped is still a maiden after 18 starts on Turf despite several excellent runs. Rezwaan needs to replicate his Polytrack form though he's never scored off a mark anywhere near as high as this but Significant Move must be respected though he would prefer a bit more give in the ground. Tafawuk ran poorly at Chepstow after scoring at Leicester which was a disappointment but SYNCOPATE has been going well on Polytrack and though unplaced on his only start on Turf he didn't run badly and looks well enough treated to gain the second victory of his career.
