All of these three-year-olds are stepping up in trip including Cape Of Glory, placed over a mile here on his last three outings. He finished just ahead of Milrow last time but is not certain to confirm running but the likes of Ghostwriter, Golden Isles and Kelvin Hall are likely improvers over today's distance. With nothing standing out among those with experience, it could pay to keep an eye on any strong support for the newcomer TALENT TO AMUSE, a half-sister to Group 3 1m2f winner One Clever Cat and representing a yard with an impressive strike rate here.
