Alesandro Mantegna looks well treated based on his chase form now returning to hurdling and if fit and ready first time out for 129 days should be a leading player. However, with that slight fitness doubt, preference is for the on-form EXTREME CONVICTION who having easily won his last two outings can land a hat-trick off this revised mark. Darksideofthemoon is another for the list having only narrowly been denied on his second run of the season. Comehomequietly is coming here off the back of a victory and isn't weighted out of a challenge but it doesn't appear that Extreme Conviction has finished his winning just yet.
