Both MASAFF and Western Australia dipped their toes in group-race company last season and showed up well, they looked the pair to focus on. The Ballydoyle inmate boasts a fitness edge but was very disappointing on his reappearance at Newmarket and has to bounce back. Dermot Weld's string are firing now and, with this step up in distance always deemed likely to suit, his son of Raven's Pass earns the nod. Chablis is a potential improver and may edge Pythion behind the leading lights.
