Race preview
SAMATIAN has shown plenty of late and could benefit from a slight drop back in trip based on his latest second at Southwell last month. The five-year-old is consistent enough to play a hand, while Lucky Bounce was denied by the narrowest of margins most recently and can give the selection plenty to think about. Duke Of Moravia remains unexposed and completes the shortlist.
