Andrew Balding is in good form in recent weeks and Brief Visit is likely to give it a good go from the front. However, slight preference is for the Queen's filly SHIMMERING LIGHT who improved last time and may be able to take another step forward. Turning Gold would have a chance if he returned to form and the gelding looks largely reliant on first-time headgear doing the trick.
