Ran well when third over 1m4f at Newbury (soft) in May but disappointing twice since including on good ground ove C&D on his penultimate outing and more needed if he's to take this.

Forecasts

Archimento (11/4), Hard Toffee (3/1), Maestro Mac (4/1), Overhaugh Street (7/1), Art Of Swing (7/1), Archangel Raphael (8/1), Victor's Bet (10/1), Solveig's Song (16/1), The Way You Dance (25/1)

Verdict

HARD TOFFEE has returned to form in recent starts and he can repeat last years success in this contest. The selection made all on that occasion and racing off a 1lb lower mark this time around can defeat Archimento who has run well on both starts since joining his current stable. Of the remainder Overhaugh Street has been running well at Brighton in recent starts and can claim third today.
