Mr Young won on Deauville's Polytrack but was bought for jumping and pulled up on his debut at Uttoxter last month. MY FANTASEA has won twice already here this year and was a comfortable winner over the trip at Doncaster last month. He's 5lb higher but this looks no tougher and he can go in again. Temasek Star has managed six victories and eleven places and is a regular visitor to these shores though he prefers further with his latest success at Leopardstown a year ago coming over 1m7f. Phoenician Star looks a big threat as he was making his handicap debut when staying on over 1m2f at Leicester and his pedigree is all about middle-distances. Mail Order has shown glimpses of ability though finished last of five on fast ground at Lingfield.
