This looks the level at which Full Suit is most comfortable and he should deliver another decent run for the thriving Watson operation. Ravenhoe is a loyal servant to Mark Johnston and embarks upon his 25th start of the year. He should give Oliver Stammers another good spin, the combination already having clicked twice in 2018. Optima Petamus went close here last time and a repeat effort would see him bang in contention while Frantical and Traveltalk are others to consider in an open affair. However, OROBAS also arrives in good heart after a close third at Newcastle last week and the consistent gelding should produce another competitive effort under Paula Muir, also in the saddle when the son of Dark Angel obliged at Newcastle in May.
