TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS has excelled at Stratford this summer and while this represents a different test, he remains unexposed at this level and could have significant progression in him against some experienced rivals. Various rivals can stake claims for a place, but Elmono ran a fine raced last time and could be dangerous if getting a soft lead, while Soupy Soups looks to be given a chance by the handicapper but has to find improvement on ratings to match the selection.
