Khismet won her maiden over 7f here last month and had no chance subsequently in a Listed race over a mile at Newmarket. She should do better today but may still find MASQUERADED too good. Gay Kelleway's colt stepped up on his opening fourth at Brighton when third in a maiden auction event over this track and trip on his second start and the booking of the in form Luke Morris is a massive plus. Long Island has not been disgraced a couple of times on easy going at Brighton but makes his all weather debut today while Ice Bond has two ways of running. Royal Pearl should be thereabouts if translating his Polytrack form to this surface however.
