Beleaguerment has won around here and was well supported when returning from a break in January but never got close after missing the break. Musalsal, twice a winner on Turf, was having his first start here in December when fading inside the final furlong over a mile after making most of the running. KINCH has only won once here but has been very consistent and the lack of a recent run shouldn't be too much of a problem. The Cola Kid got outpaced at a crucial stage when tackling 6f last week before staying on so looks a threat to all while Pride Of Pimlico, who was once rated much higher, gained a shock victory a week ago and should make a bold bid from 6lb higher. Tipperary Moon wasn't beaten far in any of his three starts here in the autumn.
