Man Of Action was a bit of a an eye catcher for me last time out. Despite starting slowly he seemed to pick up a lot near the finish. To me it might signify a return to form is imminent. He was very consistent last year of only 3lbs lower and should be more than capable of getting involved here at what looks a decent price for 5 places.

Excellent Guest is a bit of a course specialist and although it is his first step up in trip to 1 mile, he has stayed well on soft ground here before over 7 finishing well so it looks to give him a chance of staying the extra furlong here on what is now good ground. He has proved he can go well of this mark when 2nd to Brae Hill last year at Newmarket. I think his chances of being in the first 5 here are very good so the 33/1 available in a few places with the 5 places looks good value.

Red Duke looks a decent price to me, he has largely been consistent but has been unlucky on a few occasions. There aren’t as many unexposed possible superstars as there could be in this and despite the fact the he has to give a few pounds away, his last run was eye-catching in the German 2000 when he was very unlucky in running. With 4 places on offer and 7 furlongs possibly his best trip 28/1 looks worth a small bet

Nahrain has in my view easily the best form in the race. Her win in Longchamp last year is easily the best bit of form here considering she didn’t get the best of runs, having a very solid yardstick in Banempire behind.  She possibly has more improvement in her considering her 2 main rivals are more exposed. 9/2 looks a big price and worth a decent bet. There is an element of risk that since she is most likely being targeted at end of season races again that she mightn’t be at her best here, but still she may not need her absolute best to win here.
