Intellogent and Tempus finished in front of fourth-placed Astro King in last year’s renewal but the latter is more favourably handicapped this time round. Perotto looks to have been aimed at this while Reach For The Moon has raced in Pattern company since winning a Group 3 as a two-year-old and Ghaly ended last year with a double. Blue For You landed a valuable handicap at York last summer and Chasing Aphrodite scored over track and trip on his reappearance but AWAAL (NAP) makes most appeal. The latter has been rested since disappointing in Listed company in France but that may have come to soon after finishing a valiant second in the Lincoln with subsequent Spring Cup winner Jimi Hendrix, Majestic and Greatgadian behind.
