Only a smallish field but no shortage of pace, with Shantou Tiger and Vendredi Trois both likely to push on early. That should suit SAM NOIR and he can gain compensation for a slightly unlucky run at Newton Abbot last time out. Katy P continues to run well and her consistency should pay off with some more prize money here. Rollo's Reflection would be a huge danger if finding his earlier form.
