Putin should go well again having scored over 7f at Kempton a fortnight ago and Desert Chieftain's best recent run came on the Polytrack so he could figure. Supa Seeker drops back in trip and down a grade and he could make his presence felt, while Lilli Palmer went close at Kempton on her penultimate start. However, SCOGLIO was beaten only a nose over track and trip back in March and, after a couple of modest efforts in better company on turf, Frank Sheridan's charge is fancied to open his account here.
