Golden Jubilee was a consistent sort last season and wasn't beaten far over 1m4f at Kempton 12 days ago. He seems sure to be in the firing-line, though is possibly still a few pounds too high. Commissar won off a much higher mark on the all-weather last year and is another with decent claims having had a run this season. Hector's Chance has only found one too good in all three outings this year and Manipulation could go well on his first run for a new yard, though has yet to prove he stays this far. WATER DANCER makes his debut on Turf but there is no reason why he shouldn't handle the surface. He's been looking short of pace over shorter trips so this test might suit and he's started favourite in two of his four runs so is obviously though capable of better. Freemason found the trip too short on his first start for Gary Moore and is another to consider.
