Apollo D'Negro had several of these behind when fifth at Ascot last time and should confirm running. Signor Sassi has claims dropping back down in class while Don Libre can race off a lower mark back on Turf despite having won over 7f on the Polytrack back in September. TROJAN ROCKET also returns to action having proved himself a progressive sprinter last term with four wins. Only 1lb higher than when scoring at Newmarket in July, Michael Wigham's charge gets the nod in this. Lupo D'Oro's only win to date came over 5f in soft ground and King Of Jazz recorded his sole victory in 23 starts over 7f back in 2011.
