JACK IN THE GREEN has flattered to deceive but did finish a close-up 2nd in his only start over this trip so reverting to this distance could be to his liking. WHITE SEAHORSE and CHALICE FORT made marked improvement last time out after modest debut displays and the step up to a mile could eke out further progress. CHAMPONELLE and WATER DRAGON have the form and experience to mount a challenge but are drawn wide. CITY OF PORT LOUIS and BOMBER BAY are attractive outsiders who should have more to offer over this extended distance.
