Was up 10lb for previous success when a disappointing favourite on first run on turf. However became unruly in stalls and that clearly effected his run. Could easily bounce back.

Forecasts

Amadeus (9/4), Onefootinfront (7/2), Poetic Affair (4/1), The Knot Is Tied (11/2), Blue Havana (17/2), Mythological (14/1), Astrobreeze (25/1), The Jungle Vip (33/1), Illustrious Spirit (33/1), Prince Consort (50/1), Mops Tango (50/1), American Ruby (66/1)

The Knot Is Tied is entitled to improve over this extra distance while POETIC AFFAIR has also suggested this trip will suit for a stable who does particularly well with their young stayers. Amadeus also represents a leading stable and it may pay to put a line through his last start after his pre-race antics.
