Philippe Decouz’s eightyear-old stayed on song when dismissing Fast Raaj in Listed company at Cagnes-sur-Mer last month.

That is excellent form so the gelding should add another big prize for skilled connection­s.

The gelding was value for more than the neck verdict so ought to shrug off a 4lb penalty.

COVER UP (3.35) stands to make his class tell for John and Thady Gosden in the All-Weather Sprint. The colt will relish returning to six furlongs after bolting up from Moon Flight here last month.

FINAL VOYAGE (4.45) should chart a course to glory in the Mile. The six-year-old recorded a career best when edged out by Kingdom Come this month at Wolverhamp­ton.

Johnny Murtagh’s gelding remains fairly treated so ought to turn the table on his foes.

WRECKING BALL PAUL (1.30) can demolish his rivals for Paul Mulligan at Lingfield.

The six-year-old shouldn’t mind returning to 1m 4f after routing Riyami at Dundalk four weeks ago.

RIYAMI (3.15) can recover in the staying handicap for Denis Hogan off a fair mark.

INSPIRITUS (2.05) stands to shade the Middle Distance Handicap for Roger Varian following his solid second over track and trip four weeks ago.

BORGI (2.40) should show his mettle for Sean Woods in the All-Weather Mile Vase after this month’s gallant defeat of Gincident at Southwell.

Murtagh can also strike here with DAAMBERDIP­LOMAT (3.50) in the sprint after last month’s third at Dundalk.
