There looks to be good pace and pressure in this field from the outset. LUBERON (2) is a multiple-class dropper resuming. Has trialled well twice (for a win and a second) so very ready to go. Unbeaten fresh up. Group 2 placegetter. TWAIN (10) is yet to be beaten on raceday or at the trials. Cannot be omitted as he has untapped ability. PERICLES (1) he is a multiple class dropper resuming for a new yard in this. Course proven. Rider atop is the only person to have won on him. Include. MERCHANT QUEEN (8) is a course proven runner. Has won on dry and wet. Group 3 placegetter. Must include here drawn the ace. YOU SAY D'ORSAY (11) is an improver on his fresh-up fifth. Has won second up. Handles dry and wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luberon and Twain are win wagers.
