DARK RED ran a fine race at Chester a fortnight ago when finishing second and a repeat of that effort might just see him home in front now in what is a competitive heat. Frontispiece has yet to run on the all-weather but there's no reason he won't handle this and he's got the form to be considered while Pactolus is proven in this sphere and can bounce back to form after a lesser effort on turf. The long-absent Emirates Flyer is an intriguing runner and must be noted while recent course winner Secret Art is in form but has a question to answer regarding stamina.
