Preference is for ANTIQUITY, who is gradually progressive and can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights having doubled his tally with a gutsy display at Newcastle just under 3 weeks ago. Heading up the threats is Zarathos, who matched his previous form switched to a handicap last time and now makes his turf debut. Duke Orsino can edge out Lady Mariko for minor honours.
