A pretty uninspiring bunch to choose from in this. NOLECCE gets the token vote as it was soft ground when he finished third over 1m7f at Warwick and he's been lowered a further 2lb. Duke Of Yorkshire and Musikhani have the past form to figure while Royal Marksell was successful at Southwell last month and may have found the fast ground against him at Lingfield last time. Kingaroo is another recent Fibresand winner but has just the one victory on Turf to his name while Mr Plod and Magicalmysterytour usually find at least one too good.
