A long time since his last win and has not been firing consistently; not disgraced when fifth in a Grade 2 in April; easy to oppose despite this looking a little easier than last time.

A long time since his last win; split Almond Sea (third) and Quantum Theory (sixth) over 5½f here (stakes race) when producing a respectable effort 50 days ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others make more appeal.

TAXI TO THE MOON is strongly fancied to come out on top. He won the Golden Horse Sprint last time and is going for his sixth course success. Quantum Theory has winning C&D form.
