The Hannon yard has won five of the seven renewals so it would be no surprise to see Musical Comedy bounce back to form. But MARKAZ came up against higher-rated horses when fourth to Adaay in a Group 2 at Haydock last time, with Glenalmond well beaten, and may come good again in this. Absolutely So is also worthy of consideration back over today's trip after a reappearance third over 7f at Haydock and is preferred to Outback Traveller, who seems best over longer trips, while we have yet to see the best of Justineo so far this year. Ruwaiyan has yet to win a pattern race but finished in front of a couple of these in a Listed contest at Windsor last time.
