Verdict

The fitting of cheekpieces may be a good move with CONSTANICO, who raced far too keenly when he ran out at Musselburgh last time; he is better judged on previous dominant performances he posted when racing from the front. The headgear can help him settle in to a rhythm a little quicker this time around. Denmead can make this a good test for the selection and will appreciate this drop in class; he looks a worthy alternative but makes his first start after wind surgery, so a betting check is advised beforehand. Wapping and Topofthecotwolds make the most appeal from the remainder.
