FIRST ELEVEN represents a leading yard and can take what looks a highly competitive renewal of this three-year-old handicap contest. Trainer John Gosden has taken this race twice in the past and his charge looks capable of getting the better of Dubhe who impressed when winning at Sandown last time out and should appreciate the step up in distance. Mark Johnston has no fewer than six in the race and Downdraft, another likely to appreicate the step up in distance can finish best of his representatives by claiming third. Handicap debutant Cross Counter is another to consider having run well to finish runner-up last time.
