CASCOVA was most impressive when getting off the mark in a small field at Ascot last time and, given his racing style, a bigger field and stronger pace promises to bring a chunk of improvement out of him, so he's preferred to recent winners Floating Rock and Scaramanga. L'Homme Presse is another one to consider.
