Verdict
Toriano is two from two, though both victories so far have come on Polytrack so there is a question mark regarding the surface. Mustallib has been put up 7lb for a narrow win at Newcastle but should give account. Florenza and Highly Sprung are looking for a return to winning ways but VIBRANT CHORDS (NAP) looks the one to be on as he usually runs up to his mark and did well to finish fourth in a competitive heat at Ascot a month ago as he had the worst of the draw.
