Triptolemus should find the front with Spread The Love and Zoufield on his heels. SPREAD THE LOVE (6) showed plenty in his debut campaign, missing on a wet deck before the break, but he didn't lose any admirers. His recent trial coming into this was strong and that form was franked earlier this week. Should get every chance to punch his ticket to the Guineas. WOLF ISLAND (5) looks targeted towards this race with the booking of Cahill a big push for his chances. He closed nicely last time out over the 1300m journey and now he looks ready to peak third-up into the campaign. Can take the next step. ZOUFIELD (2) gets the blinkers on today, as well as the ultimate gear change coming into this on resumption. Costin takes the ride first-up and he did show good ability in his debut campaign. Can play a leading role. TRIPTOLEMUS (3) disappointed last time out, but his fresh win suggested he was a gelding on the rise. Can bounce back. CASHBOOK (1) is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spread The Love can return a winner.
