SANTEFISIO (NAP) makes most appeal in this. He found only the progressive Minduownbusiness too good in a tougher contest over track and trip last month and has a good opportunity to end a long losing run. Flag War won a maiden over 1m4f here last term and the drop back in trip is a worry for him while Robert The Painter remains out of form and Gold Hunter missed the whole of last year. Angelic Upstart looks best of the remainder on last year's win at Goodwood given recent winner Claim The Roses has come up short at this level before.
