Eshtyaaq had Laser Blazer back in eighth when winning over 2m1f here last time. He'd also beaten KASHGAR at Ffos Las earlier but the latter looked more like his old self over track and trip on his latest start. Not beaten far in fifth, he can confirm running with the disappointing Abundantly and return to winning ways. Royal Dutch is another with claims if translating his recent form on Polytrack back to Turf and Gerrards Cross could prove dangerous lurking at the bottom of the weights.
