Jockeyship will likely play a part in this but Blazon beat Seaport at Kempton earlier in the month with Manjaam fourth and Monjeni. None of that quartet would be shock winners here but we’ll take a chance on GLUTNFORPUNISHMENT, who was staying on over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time. He is 4lb better off with runner-up Manjaam and can turn the tables over the extra quarter-mile. Author's Dream won this two years ago but has been lightly raced since and has a bit to prove at present. Fleeting Visit also looks up against it while Rydan is hard to catch right nowadays.
