Race preview
The rejuvenated CISCO DISCO has won three of his last four starts at this venue. He stayed on in determined fashion to win a shade cosily on his latest outing and is taken to defy a 4lb penalty. Tee Aitch Aye opened his account on soft ground at Hamilton and merits serious consideration given the runner-up has subsequently landed a double, while Pol Roger may prove a bigger threat than Tafsir back over this longer trip.
