Casina di Notte’s much-improved effort at Yarmouth came in soft ground but Beaconsfield finished a lot closer at Haydock on his latest start when switching to a fast surface. MOJITO was noted making up late ground over 7f at York on his introduction and the Haggas colt gets the nod over this longer trip. Somnambulist ran well to place over track and trip recently, Poseidon finished closer at Newmarket last time and Wordsearch will likely improve. All of the latter are preferred to the more exposed pair Honourable and Wigan Warrior.
