BRISTOL HERCULES was a game-in-defeat second (at level weights) to a progressive 3yo in a similar race over 1450m last time and a repeat of that effort over this trip off an unchanged mark should suffice. GOLDEN OPERATOR has a bit to find on that form but was returning from a layoff and is open to improvement. KING HARALD was outclassed in a 3yo Grade 2 earlier this month and should pose more of a threat in these calmer waters. Returning A BIT OF CLASS placed at Grade 1 level as a 2yo so should not be underestimated. She resumes after another absence but remains relatively unexposed.
