Mauricetheathlete and veteran Kristoffersen have stamina in abundance but both fell on their latest start and the latter has an absence to overcome. The marathon trip could eke some improvement out of Danderry, while Madame Jasmine won over 3m2f at Plumpton on her penultimate start and just failed to follow up at the same track over a shorter trip next time. Sapphire Rouge is starting to look well treated but TARTAN TIGER has been much improved since upped in trip and there's no reason to think he won't last home on this sharp track. John Quinn's charge is handed a tentative vote with chaser Royal Kicks probably the pick of the remainder.
