Some promising types clash with LEVITATE afforded narrow preference over Above All. The Stoute yard is sure to explode into action sooner or later and their charge has already revealed plenty of ability in both outings this term, finishing best of all last time when held up off an ordinary pace. The combination of a first-time visor and this extra furlong may combine to propel the colt to a first career success. Above All is a massive threat though, having posted three highly respectable efforts this term. In contrast to the selection, he steps down a furlong in trip and must go close. Prince Of Burma let the side down last time but is better than that, while the unexposed Dervisher and Mantatisi are also worthy of consideration.
