RACE COMMENT

These up to NR40 graded events are a always a tough read and when over 2138, add an extra layer of intrigue. MAJOR GENERALJUJON (5) faced this trip three starts back and was attacking the line in the closing stages to get within a half-head of the winner. He can descend no them. IMPERIOUS (1) secures the gate advantage which might just be enough for him to throw down a challenge to claim his first AP victory. Beaten a pimple at Redcliffe three starts back, he was buried away last start. The benefit of the options might be enough to capitalise BEAU STEELE (6) receives no favours from the wide gate but can boast a win over this trip when starting off the second line. Buried at Marburg on Monday from the tapes, he is in the mix here. WESTERN ACTION (2) is a query at the trip but boasts placings in three of his past five. Forced to work outside the leader last time at the mile when holding 3rd, he can be thereabouts.
