HERE NOW was beaten in a match at Epsom last month but was only beaten half-a-length and should be capable of going one better here despite giving weight to his four rivals. La Estatua looks the likely danger having finished second at Catterick when stepped up in trip last time as Water Thief took a backward step at Musselburgh. Horsetracker has got nowhere near so far while Honey Required's win came in a Newmarket seller.
