ENGAI has been knocking on the door and had the returning Orthodox Lad more than four lengths behind when second for the third time in a row here last time. He deserves a change of luck and makes more appeal than the disappointing It's Oscar. Ex-pointer Sedano will need further than this but stamina may be a problem for On The Cusp, who was a miler on the Flat and none of the others make much appeal.
