Music Major and Bayston Hill locked horns here last time with the former coming out on top. The placings could be reserved now that Bayston Hill has a pull in the weights and a better draw. Betsalottie is in excellent form but the shorter trip is a concern, whilst Cadeaux Boxer is worthy of a market check for a trainer/rider combination that almost landed a gamble here on Tuesday. The front-running Estibdaad made all to score last time but this looks tougher and he may set the race up nicely for THE GAY CAVALIER who likes this track and is suited to a good gallop. John Ryan's charge is 8lb lower than when scoring over C&D in June and he goes well for this young rider.
