Consistent hard-knocker IDEAL FUTURE will relish this sterner test of stamina and could represent generous Eachway value. She is closely matched with top-weight COFFEEBERRY on the form of their 2400m Standside track meeting last month but is 5kg better off with the latter. On that form, both MO MENT and TEO TORRIATE should acquit themselves competitively on these revised weight terms. Course-and-distance specialists NUCLEAR FORCE, CLEAR THE PATH and THE MERCIFUL aren't taken lightly. STORM AHEAD caught the eye on his reappearance and should have a say. PANNING GOLD is respected trying 2600m.
