A deep-looking renewal of this handicap with TOO SOON receiving the tentative vote. He hasn't added to his tally since winning a good race at this venue as a juvenile, but his fourth at Ascot 2 starts ago is among the best recent form on offer and he looks primed for a big run back over a more suitable trip with his yard beginning to turn a corner. Gordon Grey is also of interest given his excellent course record, while Spinning Wheel and Hengest are two unexposed 4-y-os to note.
