Callisto Moon is capable however Kasban finally got the head in front last time and looks capable of coping with a 4lb rise in the weights. A winner at Newmarket last time, Jane Chapple-Hyam's son of Kingmambo has more on his plate today. He handles softer ground ok so any further rain shouldn¿t be a problem and whilst he is unlikely to pay his 360,000 euros price tag back if he continues at this level, he can chip away at it further today. Dark Energy doesn't have the greatest of strike-rates but he comes here in good form and is unlikely to be far away, whilst the same applies to Callisto Moon who is a very capable hurdler and ran well when seen a couple of weeks ago on the flat. Mister Completely is out of the weights but should not be ruled out as he likes big fields and a stronger pace than he got recently at Lingfield. Alnick is consitent, as is Right Option but both have a little to find today. A competitive finish, where the Ryan Moore-ridden Carmond needs a market check on his British debut, however it is Kasban who is fancied to land the finale.
