HIMSELF (6) arrives in a rich vein of form and escapes a penalty for his course and distance victory four days ago. If taking to another quick race he should prove very tough to beat. MOAB (1) placed second most recently over hurdles and arrives here up in the weights for a course and distance win two flat starts ago (a rise which is offset by the rider's claim). Likely challenger. SKYCUTTER (2) and FLEUR DE MER (3) are both sliding down the ratings however arrive on the back of respectable placed efforts. They could be thereabouts. BILLY BATHGATE (4) has stood plenty of racing lately and may play a role if on song.
