Verdict
This looks an ideal opportunity for Technician to regain the winning thread. He has faced some stiff tasks this year and he can make the most of the drop in class. Pips Magic, who has done all of his winning over five and six-furlongs, may be good enough to chase the selection home, while Alafzar and Tribal Prince should fight out the minor honours.
