DRIFTS AWAY (12) is a five-time winner who has been performing well, scoring by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at Chelmsford. Rates highly and is expected to run well. HOW IMPRESSIVE (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. The engagement of Oisin Murphy is noteworthy. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. KING OF ITHACA (9) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. GIORGIO M (8) returns from a break of nine weeks. Was going well at the back end of last prep with placings at his last three starts, the latest at this course and distance. One of the contenders.
