Townsville made his debut over this trip at Kempton in February where he just held on and it's a concern that he hasn't run subsequently. Aldayha hasn't looked the easiest of rides and appeared ill at ease over 6f at Windsor after scoring over an extra furlong at Salisbury. Mustaqqil followed a poor debut with a narrow victory at Kempton where he stayed on strongly close home but CHEVALLIER has won three of his last four, including over 7f here last month, where he ran on very strongly. This is his first start over a mile but he should be suited and gets the vote. Newmarket winner Suddyan looks best of the remainder.
