A cracking handicap to kick off, with the upwardly-mobile WINK OF AN EYE fancied to make another bold bid. He left the impression he was always doing enough when completing the 4-timer at Goodwood last month. This slightly longer trip will hold no fears and he's a serious player from a 4-lb higher mark. Scarlet Dragon, from his reduced mark, Strawberry Rock and My Frankel are others shortlisted.
