Udontdoyou is interesting dropped to this trip for the first time in a while and a win would not be a huge surprise, while El Astronaute is another with claims. Aleef makes appeal from this mark, though he has to shrug off a couple of poor efforts, while Foxy Forever will be popular given that he is chasing a hat-trick and his chance is respected. Handytalk should also be thereabouts. However, STANGHOW has been given some daylight by the handicapper and with a good draw, he might be capable of taking advantage.
