Game Mascot finished just ahead of Arabian Flight here two weeks ago and there should be little to choose between the pair again. Borough Boy possibly has a few pounds too much but goes well here and didn't fare badly last time at Kempton while stablemate Sam Spade has the ability to figure if fully primed. But Know Your Name still has much to prove on the all-weather while Burnhope has proved expensive to follow on Turf lately and has a higher rating on an artificial surface. CHISWICK BEY tries the Fibresand for the first time, which is a worry. But he's so well handicapped that it might be worth the risk that he'll handle the surface and he gets the nod.
