Staff Sergeant ran well when fifth at York last week and the return to a shorter trip shouldn't be a problem. Munsarim has only gone up 2lb for winning at Newcastle and his stable is in cracking form. He's another to consider in this finale along with Frontline Girl, successful over a mile here last month and likely to stay this trip on breeding. But the vote goes to Ed Dunlop's French import SATWA DREAM, who has taken a while to acclimatise to his new surroundings but is finding his feet now judged on a recent second to the impressive Junoob at Folkestone when he finished clear of the 75-rated Zakon. Tres Coronas stayed on late after missing the break at Epsom last time and looks the pick of the remainder.
