Whiteoak Fleur has had plenty of chances and lacks a change of gear so will probably find at least one too good again. Order Of Thistle isn’t really improving but was placed over 2m here last month while Motaraabet showed some ability on the Flat when trained by Owen Burrows. TOBY MAGUIRE hasn’t been seen since completing a double between the flags in April 2018 but he’s now with Ben Pauling so fitness might not be an issue. He’ll stay every inch of this trip and can make a winning start under Rules.
