Without a win in 15 starts on Turf, Lockantanks has been making up for lost time and won his last two outings on that surface. He's 9lb higher back on the all-weather, however, while Bancnuanaheireann makes his Polytrack debut though went close in this grade at Goodwood last month. Double Dealer has decent claims off his current mark but the vote goes to UNEX MICHELANGELO. Beaten only three lengths in better company at Doncaster last time, the drop back to a mile will suit John Gosden's colt. Switzerland and Takeitfromalady are others to consider on the back of their recent placed efforts.
