Oklahoma City is facing a stiffer task after winning a valuable sales race here last Saturday while Sir Jack Layden needs to prove his third to Berkshire in the Royal Lodge at this track was no fluke as he's been raised 23lb for that. Little separated Nezar and God Willing in a Group 3 event over 7f here last month while Safety Check and Truth Or Dare step up in class after winning handicaps on their latest starts. Pupil should go well if getting some cut in the ground while Kingston Hill and MOUNT LOGAN were both easy winners in maiden company last time. The latter won over a mile and is also entered in the Racing Post Trophy so this looks the easier option for Luca Cumani's colt.
