It could pay to stick with MANCINI in this given he’s now won four of his last six starts having coasted home over 2m at Goodwood last time. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but hasn’t stopped improving yet. Alqamar looks a bit stuck having placed off similar marks on his last four starts now but Arab Moon appeared to last home when placed over today’s trip at Kempton last time and can race off a 7lb lower mark back on Turf. A winner over hurdles, Speedo Boy drops back down in class for this but finished behind third-placed Eye of The Storm over 1m5f at Ayr last time and the latter is preferred.
