As usual, stacks with chances but PEROTTO is simply too well handicapped to ignore. He offered enough when keeping on for seventh in the Victoria Cup over 7f here last month to think new trainer Roger Varian has him in form and he's 3 lb lower than when landing the Britannia at this meeting in 2021. Astro King shaped well on his reappearance for his new stable at York last month and has twice reached the frame in this so he's second choice. Ghaly, Bless Him and Awaal also make the shortlist.
