Sarsted is upped a couple of grades after winning at Chelmsford and Kiltara has an even tougher task having won a maiden at the same track last time. Pyjama Party is upped in distance off an 8lb higher mark after scoring at Haydock and PETERHOF looks a better proposition. He hasn't raced since May but finished third behind a couple of subsequent winners at Newmarket so Sir Michael Stoute's colt gets the vote.
