NARYNKOL looked ideally suited to 1m4f when landing a maiden last month and hasn't been beaten far in handicaps over that trip subsequently. He shouldn't be too inconvenienced by dropping back and gets the nod. Will Be King was behind him last time but had been racing exclusively over 7f/1m previously so tonight's distance could prove his optimum. Lady De Vesci has won four times around here including three times over the trip. She won a similar contest in November and looks a threat. Sicario's only placed effort on the all-weather came on Tapeta at Wolverhampton but Aaron Boy showed some potential around this time last year.
