The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. ASTRO WORLD (8) showed plenty of promise in her debut campaign and has now switched to the Grantham barn. Anticipating that she's come on with the break and CJP rides after a partnering her in a nice trial recently. Needs some luck from a wide draw but she looks to have plenty of ability. MISTER RAFFLES (2) was building nicely before a disappointing effort up to 1400m in Saturday company most recently. He's been back to the trials since then and the drop back to this distance looks ideal. Can sit on the speed and bounce back to winning ways. CLASSIC RULER (4) was very good fresh at Ascot when sticking on over 1000m behind a subsequent winner. The form out of that race has stacked up and the rise in trip should suit. Will be close to the speed again and can land the knockout blow. I'M NIPOTE (1) is better than he showed last time out, but the form out of that race has been solid. Can feature. EXPOROSE (10) can be in the finish if she runs up to recent figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Astro World can return a winner.
