Verdict
Maria's Choice and Denmead are both recent winners on Turf but probably have it all to do conceding plenty of weight to TYRANNICAL (NAP). Sir Mark Prescott puts a visor on the son of Dansili and he'll be happy to be back on Polytrack after finding a couple too good on his first try over 2m at Newcastle. Iconic Sky hasn't shown much so far but might do better now going handicapping. Jockey bookings would suggest Fast Play is the pick of Richard Hughes' two runners ahead of Dynamo.
