Benadalid won over 1m2f at Doncaster two weeks ago but stays this longer trip. Where's Jeff won the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle in June and is only 4lb higher but it may pay to concentrate on the three-year-olds in this. Kashagan is blinkered after failing to fire in the Ulster Derby last time while Power Of States disappointed on his only previous run on soft ground so the vote goes to BURIRAM (NAP). The latter failed to find an extra gear over 1m6f latest but again showed his liking for an easy surface having won on heavy going at Carlisle at the end of May. The remainder are exposed handicappers who are largely out of sorts.
