British raider SKUKUZA should be well suited by the return to 1m and can strike under Ryan Moore. Irish Lincolnshire winner Orandi backed that up with an excellent third in the Lincoln at Doncaster the following weekend and heads the many dangers along with last year's winning State Actor and Emmet Mullins pair Lord Church and Derry Lad.
