Rustique was only beaten half-a-length on the Polytrack at Lingfield two weeks ago and is only 3lb higher. Saint Honore has been getting closer and was beaten less than a length at Sandown on her latest outing while Azilian shaped nicely in three starts last year and looks the type to make a three-year-old. Taraz never figured at Ripon earlier this month but has been dropped a couple of pounds since and isn't out of this. MANOLITO was placed twice over 7f at Leicester and Wolverhampton last year but should come into his own over this sort of trip this season given his pedigree. He can send Richard Hughes' supporters home happy here, though Persiflage could go well in first-time headgear.
