CUMBRE VIEJA and SOUND OF THE SEA will be competitive for the leading positions given their form, experience, and the likelihood of improvement over this extended trip. However, the latter has a bit to find on LANDOFTHERISINGSUN who caught the eye with a fast-finishing third over 1400m last time and should, on the evidence of that display, have even more to offer over this distance. GNARLY ought to fare better against this (maiden) opposition, having contested a 2yo feature last time. CHALICE FORT, WOOD WORLD and RED DAWN complete the shortlist.
