Three of these come here with some baggage in tow and it may be better to concentrate on the two solid types in the race led by CASSE TETE who shaped very well at Cheltenham last time out over further where his stamina looked as though it ran out. This trip looks perfect for him and he’s given the nod over Beau Bay who proved he can be competitive off this mark when narrowly defeated at Ascot. Royal Vacation is edging back to a more suitable mark but this doesn’t look enough of a test of stamina while Dusky Lark needs to jump better and Bishops Court is hard to recommend after two pulled-up efforts.
