Ryan Moore looks an interesting jockey booking on course and distance winner TRUISM so we'll give him the selection ahead of the consistent My Gacho while Santefisio will have strong claims if coming on for his first run back. Expected to go better on his first start for 229 days the pick looked in need of the run. It would appear significant that the Derby winning jockey chooses to ride the pick instead of for his father and off this rating the selection should be running a big race. Mark Johnston has a good record at this venue and his My Gacho should play his part. He has run well from comparable weights recently and looks booked to give his running again. Santefisio wasn't beaten that far when trying to land a hat-trick on his return. Now that bit fitter he should go better from the same mark. Zebrano might be an interesting each-way play on a course he likes though the feeling is he'll need this run while My Kingdom has been in contention the last twice when under this handicap weight. It's a wide open contest and Trusim looks the call.
