DOUBLE BANDED progressed well last season with four wins, including a victory over 2m at Newmarket so staying shouldn't be a problem. He gives the impression that any ground suits and there should be much more to come. Inchnamdamph was impressive enough when winning by eight lengths at Doncaster last time and is taking a drop in class today. He's gone up 8lb for that but should still go close.

CABINET made a good start to his career last season and won well over this trip. Sir Michael Stoute has a knack with four and five-year-olds and he is one to watch this season. He is open to any amount of improvement and can take what looks a wide open race. Heaven Knows is proven on any ground and looked in need of the run when a decent third at Pontefract last time.

Group 2 winner CURTAIN CALL ran a solid race at Doncaster last time and shapes like a horse that should come into his own over this distance. Luca Cumani is aiming him at the Derby and he should have too much class for today's rivals. Drill Sergeant is stepping out of maiden class but he couldn't have won any easier at Newcastle last time and is on the shortlist. He should have no problem with today's ground.

CHIEF EDITOR doesn't have many miles on the clock and ran a solid race over this trip at Doncaster last time. He's creeping up the weights but looks to have a bright future and should have the quality to take this. Bond City looked in need of the run for his comeback last time and has shown enough in the past to make his presence felt in this company.

MOONLIGHT ANGEL looked in need of this distance when a good third over 7f last time out. He's been given every chance at the weights on his handicap debut and should run well. Wasan is likely to be well supported in the market on the quality of his connections alone. He won his only start well at Lingfield last season and clearly has talent. He may just need this run though.

EJEED is bred to excel over this trip and, while he showed little on debut last season, he could well be good enough to figure. On breeding, you would expect him to do a lot better this season and today's trip should be ideal. Ascot Lime ran well enough on debut after being hampered coming out of the stalls. The ground will be different to the fast conditions of that day but he is respected.
