TUKHOOM had done most of his racing and all of his winning over longer trips until scoring over course and distance a week ago. He made all on that occasion and similar tactics are expected today. Autumn Flight would prefer some cut in the ground but Normandy Barriere will appreciate the faster going after disappointing at Newbury and is preferred to Abate. Both Queen Of Kalahari and Mutabaahy won over the minimum trip at Newcastle on their respective latest starts while Round The Island was successful in a lower grade at Ripon and Victory Angel slides further down the weights.
