Bushephalus has been placed in all three starts in maiden company over 6f and can figure if lasting home over this longer trip. But there are no doubts about EASY TIGER staying the distance as he won twice over 7f last term and only weakened close home over a mile at Ascot on his reappearance. Bill Muir's charge can return to winning ways in this. Wind In My Sails was still beaten five lengths when second at Lingfield and Silver Lining's recent placed effort came in plating company. Maiden winner Velociter has failed to figure in a couple of handicaps so far and Quintus Cerialis is unproven over the distance.
