MIRSAALE likes it at this venue and possesses a touch of class, so with conditions to suit, he could be up to blowing off the cobwebs after a break and winning into the bargain. Traditional Dancer looks likely to get competitive, though Dear Sire is perhaps more of a threat given his win last time. Katgary can't be totally ruled out, but he will probably need a career-best to win from this mark carrying top weight.
