PIKE CORNER CROSS has found some form with a couple of recent placed efforts over a mile at Kempton. The presence of Ryan Moore suggests he's worth another try over this longer trip. Speculator has nothing to prove over 1m2f having landed a double over course and distance last year, though he's 4lb higher than for his latest success. Lord Of The Storm has also won over track and trip before but was behind Attain when the latter won here in January. Nouvelle Ere went close at Chelmsford last month and is another to consider off his current mark.
