Race preview
Armed with a 13lb weight-for-age allowance and the potential to make good progress now he steps up to 1m6f, TREMORGIO is very tempting on these terms. Assuming he handles the stalls better than he did at Salisbury on his handicap debut last month, the son of Dubawi can readily build on that second-placed finish to a now 89-rated opponent. Creatif and Clockmaker are suggested as the main threats to the selection, although it would be dangerous to underestimate the front-running La Pulga, who is on a winning mark and can make this a searching test.
