Sputnik Sweetheart posted a much better effort when runner-up over C&D last time and should be in the mix along with the returning Sondeduro, who finished close-up at Sandown on his debut last July. However, MIZWAAJ is preferred, despite never threatening on his return at Wolverhampton, as he will have come on for the outing. Standing Strong finished well behind the latter on his debut, while Pursue and Selfara have plenty of improving to do if they're to figure but any strong support for the newcomers Highly Skilled and Muhdiq could prove significant.
