Sir Roger Moore has shown enough to suggest he can win at this level but the drop back from 7f is a worry. GOROKAI makes more appeal despite returning from a lay-off as this is much easier than his latest task in a valuable sales race at Newmarket in September and he can take advantage. Roman Times went close in a seller here last time but this is tougher and the less exposed pair Showdaisy and World's Greatest are preferred with both looking likely to improve.
