JABBERWOCKY was game in defeat when 2nd over track and trip last time but that wasn't a particularly strong race so he'll need to build on that improvement to be competitive. GAMER and SPY STORY have shown enough to warrant respect in a race of this nature but are vulnerable to less-exposed rivals ROBERT BROWNING and MILAN'S WORLD who remain open to improvement having been gelded since their latest appearances. DANCE KING has progressed in 2 starts after gelding and he should have more to offer over this trip in his peak outing. CLEAR THE PATH isn't underestimated returning from a break.
