Dutch Masterpiece was in cracking form at this time a year ago but is nowhere near the force of old and disappointed in a similar-grade handicap last time. Lytham St Annes completed a double in minor handicaps on Dirt over this trip at the end of last year and hasn't been suited by longer distances on his last two starts though he's been beaten a long way. Way of Wisdom's best form is over further and his stable look to have a better chance with STRATTON STREET. He's also been racing over further since arriving from France but only weakened in the closing stages in a 7f Listed contest at Abu Dhabi last time. Alfolk, a Group 3 winner in South Africa, has never got close enough in any of his four starts here though takes a drop in class.
