SUBLIMINAL looks worth sticking with having finished in front of Goodwood Showman and Sophosc when scoring here last month before completing a course and distance double with last week’s success. Corked has a shout on a second at Chelmsford in November and is preferred to both Casual Reply and Zefferino, who have been done no favours drawn on the outside of a big field. Doctor Nuno, Party Island and El Conquistador all step up in trip with the latter the least exposed.
