Pace a scorcher, headed by Forward Motion, K M V Retrofit and Bristol Hercules, closely followed by Kumemori and Actor. Good competitive race. WHISPERING DEATH (2) is a promising type who was placed on debut before scoring at next two before a break. Has good upside and this trip suits fresh. Expected to go on with it. ON MY HONOUR (8) finished last campaign over much further in Grade 1 company but has run well fresh and will appreciate this grade. Talented and can feature. WINTER GAMES (3) is no stranger to open class and did resume last campaign in stakes grade. Looks a key runner off the low draw. BRISTOL HERCULES (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2000m at this track. Has fitness on most of the main rivals and is nicely placed to take this out.
