Last year's winner Middlebrow is entitled to consideration again from 4lb higher, but he will need to eek out a bit more than we have seen from him and it could be worth chancing CHAIN OF BEACONS, who finished 1L behind Donald McCain's gelding in this last year, but is now 14lb better off. Admittedly, there is slight concern over good to soft ground with the selection, but it could be a risk worth taking. Las Tunas can't be written off, but his record when fresh is not red hot, while neither of Lucinda Russell's pair, Vengeur De Guye and Effet Special, are ruled out.
