Several of these look closely matched on what they've shown so far. Moodhill cut out much of the running on his reappearance over a mile at Newmarket and will strip fitter here. Pearl Nation tries his luck on Turf after a couple of decent efforts on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, while Pashan Garh ran his best race so far in a handicap at Newbury last time. Widyaan has been disappointing over further lately, however, and Asian Trader is sprint bred so there must be a doubt about him staying this far. NIGER didn't really take to the Polytrack last time but his Newbury debut was full of promise and he's worth another chance to deliver as he has a nice pedigree.
