Yossi, Audit and Here Comes Buster are the three to look at here and Yossi is nominated to lead them home. Sir Michael Stoute's Audit is classily bred and he shaped well at Leicester last time, having run moderately in better company on his first two starts. The extra furlong should suit, but his form so far does not match his breeding and he may go off a false price and is opposed. After running respectably on his first two starts, Here Comes Buster benefitted from a step up in trip when just touched off at Bath last time. A reproduction of that effort would make him a danger to all here and he is respected. Mark Tompkins' Yossi has done little wrong in two starts to date, finishing placed in good contests at Sandown and Pontefract, including over this trip last time. He may be capable of winning this and Yossi gets the vote.
