Herridge has run his best races at Kempton so should handle Tapeta. He got off the mark there last time over 7f but is sprint bred so this longer trip could catch him out. Sailor's Way has already run over 1m2f and Gary Mahon's claim should help the Godolphin entry on his handicap debut but EPSOM DAY makes more appeal. John Gosden's only runner today, the Teofilo colt stayed on past beaten horses over 7f at Lingfield last time so this step up in distance will suit. Nietzsche is looking a bit exposed but is preferred to course and distance third Lady President of the remainder.
